How does the Sponsor submit the Early Retiree List to HHS ERRP Center?
HHS’ ERRP Center will accept an Early Retiree List one of two ways: uploaded to the ERRP Secure Website (SWS), or transmitted via a mainframe connection to the ERRP Center mainframe. The Plan Sponsor will specify which submission method it is using in the ERRP Secure Website. For step-by-step instructions on how to select the Early Retiree File Submission Method, refer to the How Do I… section in the ERRP SWS. If mainframe submission is preferred, it is necessary to call HHS’ ERRP Center as soon as possible to begin the setup process. Minimal setup is required for ERRP SWS submission, and no phone call to HHS’ ERRP Center is required. A Plan Sponsor will be required to submit each Early Retiree List using a format specified by HHS’ ERRP Center. Click here for the detailed Early Retiree List format requirements.
