Your Retiree Annual Statement provides a year-end summary of your pension payments for the last calendar year, including the total amount you received and a breakdown of credits, deductions and taxes. It also gives you an explanation of the pension payment option you chose at retirement.
We mail printed Retiree Annual Statements by the end of February. However, we make Statements available in Retirement Online sooner than printed copies are mailed—and you can sign in to your account now to access yours.
Reminder for members: Make sure you receive your Member Annual Statement, which is distributed beginning in May.

Understanding Your Retiree Annual Statement
Your annual Statement provides year-end benefit and payment information for the previous calendar year, including:
- Your total pension benefit amount before credits, deductions and taxes.
- Credits for adjustments or reimbursements, such as a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) or Medicare reimbursements. (Only applicable credits appear in your Statement.)
- Deductions for recoveries, payments to an alternate payee, health insurance, or other dues or fees you’ve authorized to have deducted from your pension benefit. (Only applicable deductions appear in your Statement.)
- The amount withheld for federal taxes.
- Your total net benefit after credits, deductions and taxes.
If you have questions about the information and terms used in your Statement, check out our Guide to Your Statement for a short explanation of each.
Do Not Use Your Statement for Tax Purposes
While your Retiree Annual Statement includes pension payment and tax information, it is not a tax document. If your pension is taxable, we provide a 1099-R tax form (either through Retirement Online or by mail, depending on your delivery preference) for filing your taxes.
View Your Pension Pay Stub for Year-to-Date Information
Your pay stub gives you valuable insight into your monthly pension payment, including a breakdown of credits, deductions and taxes. Throughout the year, you can access your pay stubs online to see year-to-date totals.
- Sign in to Retirement Online.
- From Account Homepage, click View Pension Check link.
- Select date of the pension payment to view.
