Sequencing Information for Member Annual Statements

What Is Sequencing?

Employers can determine the order that the members’ annual statements will be organized for distributing to members. The annual statements are automatically sent to employers in alphabetical order by last name per report group unless you provide further information to DRS.

The Control Number determines this order or sequencing. DRS will print your reporting group’s annual statements in ascending sequence by the Control Number. Annual Statements with duplicate control numbers or no control numbers will be sorted alphabetically by last names. The Control Number and the Organization Display will be printed on the bottom of the annual statement.

See the Specifications for Sequencing for how to create the sequence Control Numbers.
