The DRB is currently experiencing an outage with myRnB, affecting all applications including AlaskaCare Employee Open Enrollment. We are actively working to restore access but do not know at this time when service will be restored. The Open Enrollment period for Employees will be extended due to this outage. Thank you for your continued patience.
The current myRnB outage is impacting employers’ ability to submit payroll files to DRB through eReporting and Employer Services.
Incoming contributions for PERS, TRS, SBS, and DCP will be delayed in posting to member accounts and to Empower Retirement.
The outage is also affecting the processing of member distribution requests from the PERS, TRS, SBS, and DCP plans.
