2009 Quarterly Survey of the Finances of Public Employee Retirement Systems

The Quarterly Survey of the Finances of Public Employee Retirement Systems is an automated data entry system that enables public entities to respond to the U.S. Census Bureau's quarterly survey via the Internet. The data you provide here are the basis of important and influential financial statistics. The statistics we construct, with your help, become part of the local government sector of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). We prefer that you use actual amounts in completing this survey, but reasonable estimates are acceptable if actual data are not available. We will not publish any amounts relating to particular systems. The data will be used only for statistical purposes to assemble national totals.

Using this automated system, you may report data under the "Current Quarter" tab. In addition, you may provide or revise data for the two quarters prior to the current quarter by clicking on the tab for any of those quarters, then click on the "Revise This Quarter" button at the top left of the screen. Please note that data for prior quarters are provided for your review.

The U.S. Census Bureau has supplied you with the User ID necessary to complete your survey. You can find your User ID on the paper version of the survey that was mailed to you by the Census Bureau. Your User ID is the 14 digit ID located on the second line of the pre-printed address section of the paper form. The example below has the ID number circled.

In the above example, Government Name "A" has a User ID of 01100100100000.
