ERP/EAM Newsflash The Lawson Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is designed to link a number of M-NCPPC busi-ness systems, including human resources, payroll, financial reporting, purchasing, and budget to allow better decision-making and use of resources. Our goal in using this tool is to connect people and operations throughout the organiza-tion. We know implementation of these new systems and processes has taken longer than originally expected and we have all shared frustrations and bumps along the way. But progress is being made. Many people and teams through-out M-NCPPC have been working hard to deliver all of the ERP modules, and we thank them for their commitment and energy over the long haul.

Here is an update on the ERP progress made so far, as well as the status of Kronos and EAM projects:

ERP Update

Human Resources and Payroll (HCM): The Employee/Manager Self-Serve (EMSS) feature in Human Resources and Payroll is scheduled to go live for managers throughout M-NCPPC in April 2016. Training for managers is expected to begin in February 2016, and a training calendar will be opened for registration in January.The team is finalizing and testing software customization for Personnel Actions to address the needs of seasonal employees who have multiple assignments. The plan is to roll out online Benefits Enrollment in October 2016, so everyone can make their own selections.Additional options coming for employees will include the ability to view your current job and position informa-tion, past Performance Reviews, online pay stubs, W-2’s, and links to policy manuals, benefit handbooks, and plan

Administrative Procedure 03-01 Telework Program Did you know M-NCPPC has a Telework Program? The Telework Program allows employees who are authorized to do so to work remotely. The Program was first instituted July 1, 1996, as part of the agency’s Work/Life Program. The agency recently adopted a num-ber of updates to the Telework Program, including: broadening eligibility; ad-dressing ad hoc/unscheduled telework; handling of telework during emergency closings and Liberal Leave status; instituting a review of ongoing telework arrangements; and removing the home-owners/renters insurance requirement. These changes are highlighted below. The updated policy can be accessed through inSite.

Employee Eligibility Previously, Merit System employees who had worked for the agency for at least one year were eligible to apply for telework. The recent amendments now allow the one-year probationary period to be waived on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of the Department Head. Contract employees (as defined by Prac-tice 2-16) remain eligible for telework, also at the discretion of the Department Head.

Ad Hoc/Unscheduled Telework Under the former Program, the agency recognized two types of volun-tary telework arrangements: routine telework as a part of an ongo-

ing, regular schedule; and project-based telework. Both types required pre-authorization via a formal signed Telework Agreement. The recent amend-ments now address ad hoc/unscheduled telework. Ad hoc telework is a telework ar-rangement implemented for unsched-uled, short-term work stemming from unforeseen situations. These situations include, but are not limited to: emergen-cies, inclement weather, and closings. The recent amendments clarify that a formal Telework Agreement is not required for ad hoc/unscheduled tele-work. Management may approve ad hoc/unscheduled telework on a case-by-case basis. It should be noted that all telework (scheduled and ad hoc) is subject to the conditions and responsibilities outlined in Administrative Procedure 03-01.

Telework During Liberal Leave/Emer-gency Closings In the event of severe weather or other critical events that affect agency operations, M-NCPPC may declare an emergency closing or Liberal Leave status. The continuation of telework is generally consistent with the agency’s current emergency work policies for the general workforce, found in Notice 11-08, “Preparation, Staffing, and Compen-sation During Emergency Conditions”. The recent amendments include pro-visions on the handling of telework for

On behalf of the Commissioners, M-NCPPC Chair Elizabeth Hewlett thanked Finance Manager Barbara Walsh and her staff, and Corporate Budget Manager John Kroll and his staff, along with Department Directors, and the finance and budget teams for their collective work on the Comprehen-sive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and Annual Poroposed Budget, both of which received awards from the Gov-ernment Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). The awards were presented at the Octo-ber Commission meeting. Chair Hewlett presented the Certifi-cate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the GFOA for the CAFR for fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. M-NCPPC is tied with the Chi-cago Metropolitan Water Reclamation District for the greatest number of times receiving this award, now totaling 41. Chair Hewlett also presented the GFOA Distinguished Budget Presenta-tion Award for the agency's annual pro-posed budget. This award program rec-ognizes budgets that are rated proficient as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communica-tions device. M-NCPPC has received this award for 30 consecutive years.

M-NCPPC Wins Two GFOA Financial Awards

both essential and non-essential employ-ees during M-NCPPC declared closings and Liberal Leave status: Emergency Closings: Essential Em-ployees who telework are expected to continue working their scheduled work hours unless released from duty by their supervisor. The nature of the emergency and the employee’s duties determine whether the essential employee should continue to telework or report to their worksite. Non-Essential Employees who telework are released from their sched-uled work hours and are not required to telework. Liberal Leave: Essential Employees who telework are required to continue working during Liberal Leave status, un-less released by their supervisor. Non-Essential Employees may con-tinue to work or use their own accrued

leave for scheduled telework hours which fall within the declared Liberal Leave status period. Teleworkers who elect to take Liberal Leave are required to notify their supervisor prior to their intention to take such leave.

Annual Review of Telework Agree-ments The updates to the Telework Program now require regular/ongoing telework arrangements to be reviewed and authorized on an annual basis. The review and reauthorization will take place at the time of the teleworker’s annual performance evaluation review. An employee requesting reauthorization of an existing telework arrangement will be required to complete a new form and submit it to his/her supervisor at least fourteen (14) days before their sched-uled performance review.

Removal of Homeowners/Renters In-surance Requirement Employees requesting telework were previously required to attach proof of homeowners/renters insurance with their Telework Agreement. The recent amendments have eliminated this re-quirement. Homeowners/renters insur-ance is no longer required as a condition of approval for telework; however, it is recommended that teleworkers consider maintaining homeowners/renters insur-ance to protect themselves in the event a third party is injured in their home dur-ing telework hours.

Questions regarding the policy may be directed to the Policy Office at 301-454-1641/1743 or by email to policyre-view@mncppc.org.

descriptions. You also will be able to enter a change of address, update your tax withholdings, submit beneficiary changes and manage your payroll direct deposit accounts. Work continues with departments to determine specific reporting needs, develop reports not currently avail-able, and provide view-only access to employee information until the Man-ager Self-Serve capability is launched in the Spring. Payroll distribution reports are being sent out on a regular basis, and we expect to have them distributed to coincide with each pay date by the end of November.

Enterprise Financial Management (EFM): The team has been working to develop Accounts Payable software imaging capabilities to scan and read invoices and upload to POs and pay-ments. In addition, the current check request process will change to a new, online workflow in ERP, and the system will capture and upload journal entry backups. Implementation of these modules should be complete by Spring 2016. To better support our users, M-NCPPC is hiring a systems analyst to assist with training, report writing, and help desk support.

Supply Chain Management (SCM): The team has been working on implementation of the RQC Image Viewer, which is currently in testing. Once implemented, field purchasing aides will be able to attach and upload documents to their requisitions and be able to print purchase orders! Requi-sition approvers also will be able to view supporting documentation prior to approval. Our team is still waiting for new implementation dates for both the Strategic Sourcing and Contract Man-agement Modules. A training schedule is in develop-ment to begin in January 2016. If your Department needs to have an employ-ee trained prior to this, please contact Central Purchasing and we will work with you to accommodate training needs.

Budget and Forecasting (LBP): The current Lawson Budget and Planning (LBP) software will be replaced with a new product from Infor named Dynamic Enterprise Performance Management, or d/EPM. This new software will allow for better budget and forecasting functionality. We are still working out the details with the vendor but expect to imple-ment it for the FY18 budget cycle. Find out more at http://www.infor.com/solutions/pm.

Lawson/Infor ERP Version 10 Up-grade: The current Lawson/Infor ERP system will be upgraded to the new In-for 10 product line beginning in 2017. This will result in a new look and an improved end-user experience. Plan-ning for this major upgrade will begin in Winter 2016 with a target go-live timeframe of July 2017.

KRONOS Update There are multiple changes com-ing in the Kronos timekeeping system, which links with the ERP systems. These will be phased in as follows:• Phase 1—we will migrate the

internal structure from the exist-ing ePersonality codes to the new Infor/Lawson codes. This change will coincide with the rollout of Manager Self-Serve in Spring 2016.

• Phase 2—we will integrate Kronos with the EAM system to reduce some time entry redundancy. This will begin toward the end of Phase One, and be completed in late Spring 2016.

• Phase 3—we will upgrade Kronos to Version 8. This will remove Java code from the application, which has been a pain point for some time with our IT staff, and offers us many new features. This phase is very early in develop-ment, with a likely late 2016 timeframe for kickoff.

• Phase 4—we will migrate seasonal paper timecard users to the auto-mated Kronos time system. This will eliminate the manual process-ing of thousands of paper time-cards every pay day, and improve accuracy, visibility, and efficiency. The target timeframe for this is likely not before Spring 2017.

EAM Update Working alongside the Lawson ERP is our Enterprise Asset Manage-ment (EAM) system, which went live in November 2014. The system was purchased with the intent of it being a Commission-wide tool, but it was first designed and built with participation from a wide selection of staff from the Department of Parks and Recreation in Prince George’s County, and from Montgomery Parks personnel. The initial deployment was to users of the Montgomery Parks SmartParks system and Prince George’s County’s ACR system users. Down the road, con-versations will be held with the two Planning departments to determine how they can best take advantage of this new enterprise software. After a year of hands-on experi-ence, the core EAM teams are working with staff to streamline business pro-cesses based on M-NCPPC practices

Montgomery Parks Seeks Public Input on Future Updates to Wheaton Regional Park Master Plan Montgomery Parks is seeking input from the public on an update to the Wheaton Regional Park Master Plan. The 1987 plan is being updated to accommodate the changing needs of the area and communities. People will have many opportunities throughout the process to share their ideas at in-person meetings, online and through hard copy mail. Planners are exploring many aspects of the park for potential updates including:

• Improvements to the park en-trances and connections within the park and to trail systems outside the park

• Possible expansion of the park to add more features such as rectan-gular athletic fields

• Incorporating ways to share the story of the park’s history and natural resources

• Improvements to natural resources

Planners are available to attend community meetings to share more information about the process. The public may also submit suggestions and questions via email, online and hard copy mail. For more information, please contact Rachel Newhouse: Rachel.Newhouse@montgomeryparks.org, 301-650-4368; Dominic Quattrocchi: Dominic.Quattrocchi@montgomeryp-arks.org 301-650-4361; or visit www.ParkPlanning.org

Montgomery Parks announced recently that a non-native invasive beetle from Asia, the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), has been detected in the county and is wreaking havoc on ash trees. The beetle feeds on the trees causing them to die within 1 – 3 years. While only an estimated 2 percent of the trees in Montgomery County are ash trees, they make up an estimated 20 percent of trees located in stream valleys on parkland. “Montgomery Parks is the larg-est holder of ash trees in Montgomery County,” said Colter Burkes, Senior

Urban Forester. “The Emerald Ash Borer is an extremely destructive bug and we are expecting large quantities of standing dead trees in Montgomery Parks.” Parks staff is developing a plan to address problems created by the Em-erald Ash Borer. The plan will feature several phases including inventory and monitoring, removal and treatment and planting. The Parks Department is seeking funding to address the issue over the next several years. Public support will also make a huge differ-ence.

The Merit System Rules and Regulations communicate employ-ment policies for Merit employees. Chapter 1600 addresses Leave Status Programs: Leave-Without-Pay, Paren-tal Leave, Family and Medical Leave, and Absence-Without-Leave. On November 18, 2015, the Com-mission adopted amendments to the Family & Medical Leave Act Pro-gram (which can be found in Chapter 1600) for implementation by January 1, 2016. The following background explains the two policy areas that were amended: Calculation of FMLA Eligibility Period: Move from Calen-dar Year to Rolling Year FMLA Leave Method (Section 1640 and Subsection 1641), and Codification of Qualifying Exigency/Military Caregiver Leave Provisions (Subsection 1642).

Calculation of FMLA Eligibility Period: Move from Calendar Year to Rolling Year FMLA Leave Method (Section 1640 and Subsection 1641). Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible employ-ees are entitled to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons. Employees are entitled to this leave during a defined 12-month period. Employers may select one of several methods to calcu-late the 12-month period.

The Commission approved the change in the calculation method from the present “calendar-year” method to a “rolling-year” method.

Existing 12-month “Calendar Year” Method: Currently, the 12-month eligibility period runs each year from January 1 through December 31. This allows an employee to take 12 weeks of FMLA leave in a calendar year and request another 12 weeks immediately at the beginning of the following year. Under this method, an employee may be entitled to 24 consecutive weeks of

FMLA leave, depending on the timing of the leave. The following example illustrates this principle:

Jane requests 12 weeks of FMLA leave beginning October 1, 2015, which places her on FMLA leave status through the end of the calendar year. Jane is entitled to another 12 weeks of FMLA leave at the beginning of the new calendar year (January 1, 2016), which would result in a total of 24 consecutive workweeks of FMLA leave.

“Rolling 12-Month” Method: Under the new calculation method, an employee is entitled to 12 weeks of FMLA leave during a 12-month rolling or “look-back” period. More specifically, the 12 months are mea-sured backward from the date of the employee’s most recent FMLA leave request. Thus, each time an employee requests FMLA leave, he/she is con-sidered for the balance of the 12 week leave entitlement that was not used during the immediately preceding 12 months. An employee who already has taken eight weeks of FMLA leave in the last 12 months has only four more weeks of leave that they may use under the FMLA. The following example illustrates this principle:

Michael requests three weeks of FMLA leave to begin on August 31, 2015. The employer looks back 12 months (from August 31, 2015 back to the previous September 1, 2014) to see if any FMLA leave had been used. If Michael had not taken any previous FMLA leave, he is entitled to the three weeks he requested and has nine more weeks available.

The effective date of the change to the Rolling 12-month Method is Janu-ary 1, 2016. During the first year of implementation (2016), FMLA taken in 2015 will not reduce 2016 FMLA entitlement.

Codification of Qualifying Exigency/Military Caregiver Leave Provisions: (Subsection 1642): On January 28, 2008, former President Bush signed into law new FMLA leave entitlements for mili-tary families. The National Defense Authorization Act amended the FMLA to provide two types of military family leave for FMLA-eligible employ-ees: “qualifying exigency leave” and “military caregiver leave.” The agency has already incorporated these military leave categories in its FMLA opera-tional guidelines. Policy was amended to codify the program benefit.

Qualifying Exigency Leave - FMLA leave may be taken for any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that a covered military member is on active duty or called to active duty status. The Department of Labor’s regula-tions include a broad list of activities that are considered qualifying exigen-cies, and permits eligible employees who are family members of a covered military member to take FMLA leave to address the most common issues that arise when a covered military member is deployed, such as attending military-sponsored functions, making appropriate financial and legal ar-rangements, and arranging for alterna-tive childcare.

Military Caregiver Leave - FMLA leave may be taken by an eligible employee to care for a covered ser-vice member with a serious injury or illness, which is defined as an injury or illness incurred in the line of duty while on active duty.

A Letter from the Executive Director: Invitation to Employees to Join the Diversity Council The M-NCPPC is strongly com-mitted to diversity in our organiza-tion. The Diversity Council was estab-lished by the Commission in 2001 to foster inclusion and diversity awareness in the workplace and in the services we offer. The Council is comprised of a cross section of em-ployees who bring unique experiences, attributes and perspectives on diversity issues. Examples of exciting work carried out by the Diversity Council include developing a multi-year Strategic Plan for agency wide diversity ef-forts, developing a very successful One-Commission Diversity celebra-tion, reviewing policies for greater inclusion, planning and coordinating panel discussions on LGBT is-sues, and bringing education opportunities through cultural celebrations. We are recruiting new members to serve on the Diversity Council begin-ning January 1, 2016. New members are being sought to fill the following openings:• Two new members from PGC

Parks and Recreation• One new member from PGC

Chair's office• One new member from MC

Chair's office• One new member from PGC Plan-

ning• One new member from MC Plan-

ning

Membership on the Council: • The Executive Director, in con-

sultation with Department Heads, appoints members who reflect the diverse composition of agency and the communities we serve.

• Appointments are for two years, with staggered terms to provide continuity.

• Members meet once a month and participate on committees to achieve the objectives of the Council’s Strategic Plan.

• Anticipated time allocation will be approximately eight (8) hours per month – three (3) hours for collaboration/meeting and five (5) hours for research and develop-ment.

If You Are Interested In Serving: Interested employees should send a letter of interest to Executive Di-rector Patricia Barney no later than December 21, 2015.

Health & Benefits: News You Can UseOur mission to our customers is to design, develop and administer quality, cost-effective benefit programs responsively, consistently and fairly.

Prescription Drugs Changes Beginning in January

Grandfathering for Specialty Therapy Classes

Advanced Controlled Specialty Formulary As mentioned in our Open Enroll-ment materials, we’ve switched to the Advanced Controlled Specialty Formulary beginning January 1, 2016. This change was necessitated by an increase in specialty drug costs and an effort to contain cost. There are still a number of specialty drugs available in each drug class so there will be mini-mal member disruption. Vaccine Program Currently vaccines are covered only under the medical plans. When a member obtains a vaccine at the phar-macy a claim must be submitted to the medical plan for reimbursement. In an effort to allow our members and their families to get their vaccines without having to make an appointment we

have implemented the Vaccine Pro-gram. Not only is it more convenient but it is cost effective. A list of vac-cines that you can obtain at a local CVS are listed below.

• Flu• Pneumonia• Shingles (Herpes Zoster)• Hepatitis A• Hepatits B• Rabies• Tetanus, Diptheria, Pertussis• Human Papillomavirus• Measles, Mumps, Rubella• Meningitis• Varicella (chickenpox)

Formulary Exclusion List Caremark regularly reviews and makes changes to the Formulary/Pre-ferred Drug List (PDL) to encourage

the use of generics and preferred brand products. The PDL has been modi-fied for 2016 to exclude coverage for a select number of costly, brand name drugs. The drugs that are removed are selected based on their low usage rates and the ready availability of alterna-tive drugs in the same drug class. As drugs are removed and placed on the exclusion list, Caremark will notify members who are using the drug and provide recommendations for alterna-tives. If you choose to continue to use the excluded drug you will pay 100% of the cost of the drug. You should al-ways check the current PDL on Care-mark’s website when your physician prescribes a drug to make sure it is covered, or contact Caremark directly at 800-421-5501. The current PDL list is found here: http://www.mncppc.org/Assets/Commission/benefits_documents/Open+Enrollment/2016/Caremark+Performance+Drug+List_January+2016.pdf

The specialty pharmacy landscape is rapidly evolving, and spending on specialty drugs is expected to continue to increase over the next several years. CVS Caremark regularly reviews programs and makes adjustments to help maximize value. The following changes are being made to grandfa-thering for the following specialty therapy classes of drugs. These chang-es will take effect January 1, 2016:

• Autoimmune: Grandfathering will apply to existing adherent utilizers with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

• Multiple Sclerosis: Targeted/excluded beta-interferon medica-tions will no longer be grandfa-thered therapies. Non-interferon medications will continue to be

grandfathered for existing adher-ent utilizers.

• Pulmonary Arterial Hyperten-sion: Adcirca and Revatio will no longer be grandfathered therapy.

Please be aware that a medical exception process is available for plan members who demonstrate need to stay on their targeted/excluded thera-pies. A targeted mailing will be sent to all impacted members and physi-cians notifying them of this change. Additionally, for members receiv-ing services from CVS/specialty™ pharmacy, CVS Caremark will make additional outreach calls, work with the physician offices to obtain a new prescription, coordinate supplementary injection training and provide access to manufacturer financial assistance programs upon request and as needed.

Learning How to Relax Feeling stressed is a normal, healthy response to life’s challenges. When prolonged, however, stress can have adverse effects on health and general well-being. Learning to reduce stress and relax can improve your outlook and help you to respond to new situations more positively. Try the following techniques: Deep Breathing. Breathing from our chests or shoulders can create more tension and stress by prevent-ing air from reaching the bottom of our lungs, increasing blood pressure and preparing the body for action. Deep breathing focuses on using the diaphragm (the spot just under your rib cage) to draw slow, deep breaths of air into the lungs and to release them slowly.

Stretching and Yoga. Stress often appears as tension in our necks, shoul-ders and head, what’s commonly re-ferred to as the stress triangle. Stretch-ing exercises can relieve tension, make your body more flexible and produce a calming effect. Yoga is a more formal method of stretching, but even just shrugging your shoulders, stretching your arms and rolling your neck a few times a day can have positive effects. Massage. Physically, massage can help alleviate tense muscles, lower blood pressure, promote deep breath-ing and improve posture. Mental benefits of massage include reduced anxiety, increased body awareness and enhanced creativity.

Drive Responsibly: December is National Drunk & Drugged Driving Prevention Month

Meditation and Visualization. Meditation involves “quieting the mind” by blocking out sensory input and distraction, while visualization involves using the brain’s creative capacity to create a stress-free experi-ence, much like daydreaming. Both meditation and visualization can be helpful in relieving stress.

The holiday season is the time of the year when drunk and impaired driving accidents are most prevalent. Drug and alcohol use impair judgment, delay reaction times, and can result in deadly consequences when driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drugs (for example, marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18 percent of motor vehicle driver deaths while drunk driving accidents account for 31 percent of all motor vehicle accidents. Additionally, thousands of drivers and passengers lose their lives each year because of drunk and drugged driving. December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about the consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Most people would never imagine that their holiday celebration could re-sult in a fatality or imprisonment, but the risks associated with driving while impaired are very real and can result in tragic consequences for everyone involved.

The following list includes a few simple tips for celebrating and driving safely this holiday season: • Designate a non-drinking driver ahead of time. • If drinking alcohol at a party or other celebration, allow at least one hour between drinks. It takes one hour to get rid of one drink from your body (one drink is equal to a 12-ounce beer, 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1½-ounce shot of liquor). • Set limits beforehand of the number of drinks to have and stick with it. • Alternate drinking alcoholic bever-ages with soda, juice or water and eat food. • Don’t mix alcohol with other drugs, including over-the-counter and prescription medications. • Don’t ride with someone who is impaired. Use other means of trans-portation such as a taxi, public trans-portation or driver who is sober. If you are hosting a party, here are some steps to take to help your guests drive safely: • Plan ahead and designate a sober

driver. • Collect each guest’s keys upon ar-rival and store in a designated basket. • Serve foods along with alcohol-free beverages such as soda, juice or water. • If making an alcoholic punch, use fruit juice instead of a carbonated drink. Alcohol absorbs faster into the blood stream when mixed with car-bonated drinks. • Stop serving alcohol 1 to 1½ hours before the party actually ends. If you take a medication that makes you drowsy, do not drive. Have someone drive you. During Drunk and Drugged Driv-ing Prevention Month, recommit your-self to preventing the loss of life by reminding others to be sober and drug free, and use safe driving practices on the road. Drink responsibly, drive respon-sibly and encourage family members, friends and co-workers to be safe and responsible drivers for the holidays and beyond.

World AIDS Day – December 1 In recognition of World AIDS Day, which was on December 1, the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention (CDC) encourages everyone to get tested for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In the United States, about 1 in 5 people who have HIV don’t know it. Around the world, about 35 million people are living with HIV. In the United States, about 50,000 people get infected with HIV every year. World AIDS Day is a global initiative to raise awareness, fight prejudice, and improve education about HIV and AIDS. The only way to know for sure whether or not you have HIV is to get tested. You could have HIV and still feel healthy. Everyone ages 15 to 65 needs to get tested at least once. Some people may need to get tested more often. To find an HIV testing loca-tion near you, text your ZIP code to KNOWIT (566948) or use this online locator. HIV is passed from one person to another by:• Having unprotected sex with a

person who has HIV• Sharing needles with someone

who has HIV• Breastfeeding, pregnancy, or

childbirth if the mother has HIV• Getting a transfusion of blood

that’s infected with HIV (very rare in the United States)

Montgomery County Planning Department Gives Back to Community through Charity Campaign This holiday season, Montgomery County Planning staff donated resourc-es and time to help the homeless and families in need Food, socks and wash cloths. These basic necessities were collected at the Montgomery County Planning Department from November 9 through November 23 as part of a campaign to help local charities during the holi-day season. Over the two-week drive, staff donated the items to fill four large boxes placed in central locations within the Montgomery Regional Of-fice building. “The first goal was to provide the Planning Staff with various opportuni-ties to give back,” says Robbin Brit-tingham, Montgomery County Plan-ning Department Human Resources Manager, who organized the campaign. “It may not always feel like it, but we are blessed to be able to come to work and go to a home every day. We tend to forget how much we have. I wanted the staff to have this experience to re-mind them of what’s important in life.” The second goal, Brittingham says, was to help families. “You would be

amazed at how many students go to school hungry,” she notes. “At times, their school lunches may be their only meal. Our gesture doesn’t necessarily change their circumstances, but it does let them know that we care and are giving back.” The Montgomery County Planning Department also sponsored a day of service so staff could help the Wash-ington, DC-based organization So Oth-ers May Eat (SOME). This 45-year-old community group provides goods and services for the homeless, including daily meals. Several Montgomery County Planning Depart-ment staff members – Maritza Barbot, Michael Brown, Molline Jackson and Emily Tettle-baum – prepared and served lunches to guests at SOME’s dining hall on No-vember 23 as part of the charity drive.

Holiday-Themed Children’s Book

The winter holiday season is upon us; a time when ‘visions of sugar plums dance in your head’ and the smells of fresh-cut evergreens fill the air. Last year, members of the Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation HR Training & De-velopment Team (Darryl Wyles and Allita Irby) and the Public Affairs and Marketing Division (PAMD) Outreach Team (Janique Muckelvene) got together to read the holiday book,“The Very Awesome Adventures of RuRu & Rudy” to children at the Prince George’s County Public Schools Childcare Center in Glenridge (7200 Gallatin St.; Landover Hills, MD 20784). This charming tale was written by our very own poet, Janique Muckel-vene. Program Director, Sharon Bow-man, was delighted and so were the kids (ages 2-5) who heard the story for the first time of a little girl, RuRu, and her magical deer, Rudy. The book is available at http://www.amazon.com/Very-Awe-some-Adventures-Ruru-Rudy/dp/0991552229/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1447693190&sr=1-1&keywords=ruru+and+Rudyor contact the author on 301.523.8802, 301.284.8525 or email Sales@Chime-ricalArtBooks.com.

ERS LifeTimesNews from the Employees’ Retirement System

Ask the ERS?Question: What happens if I resign before retirement eligibility?

Answer: You may have the following five (5) options: Vesting - If you resign with at least 5 years of service (10 years for Plan E), you can receive a guaranteed retire-ment benefit payable at what would have been your Normal Retirement Date had you continued working for the Commission. Your funds must remain with the ERS in order for this option to apply. Keep Contributions in the ERS - If you have less than 5 years of service (10 years for Plan E), you are not entitled to an annuity. However, if you choose to keep your contributions in the ERS, and later return to employ-ment with the Commission, you shall be credited with your initial period of credited service.

January BOT MeetingThe next ERS Board of Trustees meeting is sched-uled for January

5, 2016, at 10 a.m., in the ERS/Merit Board Conference Room. For more information, please contact the Retire-ment Office at 301-454-1415 or visit the ERS website at http://ers.mncppc.org.

December 2015 Retirees Congratulations go to the fol-lowing members on their retirement effective December 1, 2015: Edward Denman, Isaac Dillon, Howard W. Chalker, Hugh J. Cottington, and Thomas J. Mihm.

ERS Condolences The ERS Board of Trustees and staff would like to extend their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Marilyn J. Noffsinger who passed away on November 6, 2015. Ms. Noffsinger retired from the Commis-sion on November 1, 1983 with 12 years of service.

Net Annuity Change - Reminder After reviewing your January check stub, some retirees will won-der why their net retirement annuity changed. Remember, new health insurance rates go into effect January 1. If any part of your medical cover-age was affected by rate changes for the 2016 benefit year, there will be a change in the amount of your net annuity. Questions regarding health insurance coverage should be directed to the Health & Benefits staff.

Withdrawal of Contributions - You can withdraw your contributions. This decision is irrevocable and will ter-minate all entitlement to any benefits from the ERS. A mandatory 20% will be withheld from the accrued inter-est and pre-taxed contributions for income tax purposes. An additional 10% penalty may also be applicable in many cases. Direct Rollover of Contributions - You can roll over your contributions to another Qualified Retirement Plan or an Individual Retirement Account, without penalty or immediate income taxability. The receiving institution must certify that they can accept the funds.

Transfer of Credited Service - You may be able to transfer your service to another eligible governmental retire-ment system in the State of Mary-land. This may require the concurrent transfer of accumulated contributions to the new System. See the State’s Annotated Code and contact the new System for more information about this option.
