About this file

This is an Independent Contractor/Worker Acknowledgment form from the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) that must be completed by individuals providing personal services to public employers who are classified as independent contractors rather than public employees. The form must be submitted within 30 days of beginning services and includes sections for personal information, public employer details, and acknowledgment of independent contractor status.

The form outlines eight specific criteria defining an independent contractor under Ohio Administrative Code section 145-1-42(A)(2), including requirements such as being party to a bilateral agreement, receiving payment through contractual arrangement, ineligibility for workers' compensation and benefits, providing own supplies/equipment, and receiving IRS Form 1099. The document explicitly states that independent contractors are not eligible for OPERS contributions but retain the right to request a determination of eligibility within five years of service start date. The form must be retained by the public employer with a copy sent to OPERS, and failure to maintain this acknowledgment may extend the contractor's right to request status determination beyond the standard five-year period.
