Once the information is received at PERA electronically, you will receive a confirmation e-mail (sent to the e-mail address listed in the online form) and then, via U.S. Postal Mail, a letter containing the User ID number assigned to you. A copy of the Terms and Conditions for ERIS use and an Agreement and Authorization for Access form will accompany the letter.

When the signed Agreement and Authorization for Access form is received at PERA, we will process your request for access and, if approved, send a temporary password to the e-mail address entered in that field of the online form. The temporary password is used to access the system the first time and will be required to be changed immediately upon use before you can enter ERIS.
