Practice Sun Safety this Summer

Summer is here, and that means sunny days are ahead! While having fun in the sun, it’s important to remember to monitor your skin’s exposure to the sun. Repeated overexposure can be a contributing factor toward skin cancer, the most common type of cancer in the United States. Here are some key tips to remember so you can enjoy the weather safely:

• Seek shade
• Wear protective clothing
• Apply sunscreen to all skin not covered by clothing

Do you Have a Beneficiary Form on File?

Having a Designation of Beneficiary Form on file with LACERS is one of the most important things you can do for your loved ones. It provides a clear roadmap of your intentions, and can eliminate unnecessary stress and worry for those left behind. Once you designate a beneficiary, it is important to review and update your beneficiary information periodically as your family situation may change over time.

If you are not sure if you have a Designation of Beneficiary form on file at LACERS, check your MyLACERS account via our website or call our main office line and staff will assist you. The LACERS Designation of Beneficiary forms can be found here.
