LACERS PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION. YOU SHOULD TOO.
LACERS cares about the security of our Members. That’s why we regularly review and refine our privacy policies so that all Member information received and processed by our staff is always kept secure.
We would also like to remind you that as one of our Members, you, too, play a part in helping us maintain information security. The following recommendations are intended to help you avoid inadvertently disclosing your personal information:
Email: Think Before You Click
If you receive an unanticipated email or an email from an unknown sender, don’t follow any links or open any attachments. Simply delete the email. If you’re ever in doubt as to whether an email came from a company or organization you’re familiar with, locate the company or organization’s contact information from a trusted source outside of the unanticipated email, and contact them directly to verify the email’s authenticity.
Limit Posting Identifiable Information Online
Whether on websites or social media applications, don’t post any identifiable information that you wouldn’t be comfortable with a stranger knowing. For example, showing off your favorite pet “Sophie” on social media can leave you vulnerable if your password security questions ask for the name of your favorite pet.
Read Privacy Policies
A privacy policy is a declaration that describes how an organization will collect and use data about individuals who agree to it. By agreeing with an organization’s privacy policy, you are expressing consent for that organization to use your data as described within its policy. Not all privacy policies are the same. Therefore, it’s important to read and understand privacy policies before agreeing to them.
View our Privacy Policy.
When to Contact Us
If you suspect your personally identifiable information has been compromised in any way, please contact your local authorities immediately and notify LACERS by phone at (800) 779-8328 so that we can note your account.
WORLD ELDER ABUSE AWARENESS DAY IS JUNE 15
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) was launched on June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations.
The purpose of WEAAD is to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect.
Learn how you can take action to support this effort by visiting the University of Southern California’s Center for Elder Justice webpage.

When is the last time you reviewed your beneficiary on file with LACERS? Maybe your personal situation has changed since retiring, such as getting married or becoming a legal guardian of a child.
