<div>The last email I sent did not contain an attachment as I said it did, that was my bad. But, I am forwarding this email to you, and it contains a link to the form. The link is towards the bottom of the email right after it says "to request exemption."</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">You are receiving this message because you have a current active appointment as a student employee at Ohio University. Effective October 2013, the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) revised the
<a href="https://www.opers.org/forms-archive/F-3.pdf">Request for: Optional Exemption as a Student</a> form (Form F-3) and the
<a href="https://www.opers.org/forms-archive/F-3_Instructions.pdf">Request for Optional Exemption as a Student Instructions</a>. If you wish to be exempt from making contributions to retirement on your student salary<a style="mso-footnote-id:ftn1" href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:EN-US">[1]</span></span></span></a>,
you need to submit form F-3 within your first month of employment. This form needs to be completed and submitted to the Payroll Office within 30 days or retirement contributions will be withheld from your paycheck. NOTE: it is possible that your supervisor
has already requested this form from you this semester. If you have already submitted it, you do not need to do so again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Only those students who meet the minimum requirements for enrollment are eligible for exemption. The minimum requirements are enrollment in at least six (6) credit hours for undergraduate students and five
(5) credit hours for graduate students. By completing this form, students are requesting an exemption from required employee contribution to the OPERS pension system, which is currently 10% of earnable salary. Also, pension service credit will not be earned
for applicable student employment. If a student later becomes a member of OPERS, the student may be eligible to purchase this exempt service per Ohio Revised Code section 145.28.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
