I am a certified public accountant working with a relief association. Why do I not have access to the relief association’s reporting forms when I log into SAFES?

SAFES is the State Auditor’s Form Entry System, which is the secure web application used to access, submit, and electronically sign reporting forms. SAFES access for accountants, auditors, and other consultants who work with relief associations must be renewed annually and expires at the end of each calendar year. This security precaution is in place because relief association reporting forms accessed through SAFES contain not-public member data.

To obtain SAFES access, submit a completed User Authorization Form to renew SAFES access for the calendar year. The completed form can be submitted by email to pension@osa.state.mn.us, by fax to (651) 282-5298, or by mail to: 525 Park Street, Suite 500, Saint Paul, MN 55103.
