What should I do if I am having trouble with the online quiz?
|
You might experience issues when trying to go through the enrollment process due to incorrectly answering quiz questions, the quiz timing out, or us not having enough information to generate quiz questions.
Quick Tips:
- Quiz attempts limit: For security reasons, there’s a limit to how many times you can attempt the quiz in one session.
- Incorrect answers: Repeatedly answering questions incorrectly may result in a failed quiz. Double-check your answers before submitting.
- Taking too long: The quiz is time sensitive for enhanced security, so if you get interrupted halfway through the quiz will time out.
- Irrelevant questions: If the quiz questions don’t seem relevant to you, there may not be enough public information to verify your identity. NHRS can mail you a temporary PIN to help you create your account. Please contact us for assistance.
Please review these helpful tips and try the enrollment process again. Contact us for any additional assistance.

What should I do if I receive an error message when creating a My Account?
|
There may be an issue with the information you entered at the beginning of the enrollment process or the information we have in our system.
Quick Tips:
- Name verification: Make sure your name is spelled correctly. Consider removing middle names or suffixes to simplify the setup process.
- Address match: Ensure that the address you entered matches the address we have on file, which may be the address you originally gave to your employer. If you’ve recently moved, you may need to update your address.
Please attempt the enrollment process again with these considerations in mind. If you feel there is incorrect information in our system or you are still experiencing issues, please contact us for support.

How do I log into My Account if I have not received a reset email?
|
You may have trouble logging in due to an incorrect username/email, incorrect password, or because you haven’t created a My Account yet.
Quick Tips:
- Incorrect Username: If you’re seeing a login error, your My Account may be associated with a different username. Try logging in again using an alternative username/email address that might be linked to your account. If you still receive an error, reset your username by clicking "Forgot Username" below the My Account login.
- Incorrect Password: If you’ve forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" below the My Account login. If your account exists, you’ll receive an email from noreply@nhrs.org with instructions to reset it.
Note: If you haven’t received an email with reset instructions, this could be because we have a different email is on file, or you haven’t accessed/created an account since we transitioned to the new My Account as of December 1st, 2023. You will need to follow the enrollment process to create a new account.

Why does the date on my application for retirement form show the wrong date for my electronic deposit?
|
The date displayed on the electronic retirement form within your retirement application might reflect the date you submitted the application, rather than your intended retirement date. This is a known display issue we are currently working to resolve.
Please be aware that this incorrect date shown on the form does not affect your actual retirement date or the processing of your electronic deposit.
Your retirement and benefits will be based on the official retirement date you indicated in your application, not the submission date shown on the electronic deposit form.
