Description: Snapshot Reports are designed to provide MERS participants with an understanding of how prepared they are for retirement using the information that MERS has along with Social Security. Because these reports are generated using only the information that MERS has, we strongly encourage participants to review their report, and then go online to build a more comprehensive "Full Picture" report. Participants can do so by logging in to their myMERS account and clicking on the "Full Picture" report builder icon.
Resources: Please visit the retirement readiness resource page on mersofmich.com for more information on the report along with videos, FAQs and links to external resources for more information.
Additionally, there are some upcoming Quick Bite Webinars scheduled where participants can learn more about their report and get questions answered. Click here for more information and to register.
