Deferred Compensation Questions?

LPPS does not pay into Social Security but is required by the federal government to contribute that money to a 3121 FICA Alternative program. We contribute that to US Bencor/MidAmerica for you.

Use the flyer below to learn more about how to access your information with US Bencor/MidAmerica.
