# 06/24/2026 Release Notes: MARIS State Retirement

## These release notes document improvements to the Checkwriters software released on 06/24/2026.

### State Retirement - MARIS

For users with access to **HRAdmin → Manage Employees → State Retirement**, we have improved the export file processing for MARIS and now include all active employees regardless of whether they were included in the payroll. Previously, these employees were excluded.

Additionally, we have added a checkbox **Variable Pay Period Employee** to the **For Use with MARIS Files** section.

Selecting this checkbox will identify employees with variable pay periods. During export processing, these employees, if active employees in the system, will be included in the export and will include the employee’s default hours in the file regardless of payroll activity.
