Contact ERS 

The ERS Contact Center is available by phone and email.  

Demand for service is extremely high. You may experience a long wait to speak with a counselor or get an email response. Additionally, our phone lines are often engaged to capacity. When this happens you may hear a busy signal or get disconnected. Please continue to redial. You WILL get through, and we WILL assist you. We apologize for the inconvenience.
