Any references to EIS data prior to 2013 are from sources external to EIS. Reporting entities (e.g., districts, charters, special education co-ops, etc. ) and the ISBE EISteam are unable to make these changes.  \nISBE does not recommend making historical changes to EIS data. After public collection deadlines pass, ISBE snapshots the data at that moment and uses it for all reporting purposes. Any changes made will not be reflected in the Illinois Report Card or any other public reports that utilize EIS data. It is possible that users can make historical edits to employment data as far back as 2013, but this will not have any impact on the data ISBE uses or reports.  \nHow does my data in EIS impact my pension?  \nNo data reported in EIS will affect pension calculations for any pension system. EIS is a data collection system intended to transfer current information to ISBE. This information is used in limited ways by other systems (e.g., access to the KIDS assessment portal, ELIS professional development assignments, and My Data Dashboard) but is not used for retirement-related determinations.  \nWhat do I do when an employment history is inaccurate in ELIS?  \nEmployment history displayed in the Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS) reflects what is reported by your employer in EIS. Entities can make edits to employment data from the 2012-13 school year to the present. (See details above. )  \nNo data displayed in ELIS will affect pension calculations for any pension system.  \nWhat if I have concerns about inaccurate work history as it pertains to pensions?  \nContact the pension system directly to verify your employment history for your pension.  \n• Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS)  \n􀁒 Email: [members@trsil.org](members@trsil.org)  \n􀁒 Phone: 877-927-5877  \n•  Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund (CTPF)  \n􀁒 Email: [memberservices@ctpf.org](memberservices@ctpf.org)  \n􀁒 Phone: 312-641-7185  \nWhat if I have concerns regarding proof of employment?  \nEmployers should not use information reported in EIS or ELIS as proof of employment when evaluating candidates. If a future employer requires proof of employment, please contact your previous employer and request that it provide a letter certifying your years of experience with it.  \nContact us  \nFor further EIS support, reach out to Data Strategies and Analytics:  \n• Email: [datahelp@isbe.net](datahelp@isbe.net)  \n• Phone: 312-814-9192  \nFor ISBE Help Desk and IWAS technical issues, contact:  \n• Phone: 217-558-3600  \n•  Contact ISBE  \n\n| Version: | Last Updated: | ISBE department: |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1.0 | 7/31/2025 | Data Strategies & Analytics department |\n| 2.0 | 04/14/2026 | Data Strategies & Analytics department |","cbCaidWdBh4fDNqO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidWdBh4fDNqO","pdf",258811,"English","# Employment Information System (EIS)\n## Correcting inaccurate employment history\n## EIS impact on pension calculations\n# Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS)\n## Correcting inaccurate employment history\n## ELIS impact on pension calculations\n# Pensions and proof of employment\n## Concerns about work history for pensions\n## Proof of employment guidance\n# Support contacts\n## EIS support and ISBE Help Desk","[{\"question\":\"What can I do if my employment history is inaccurate in EIS?\",\"answer\":\"EIS cannot be edited for records prior to the 2012-13 school year, because EIS became active in 2012 and replaced an earlier system.
