Retirement Planning – Getting Your NYSLRS Retirement Estimate

Leave a reply

When it comes to retirement planning, it’s vital to get informed about your NYSLRS retirement plan, but also to make sure your records with NYSLRS are up to date. Keeping your records current, like your public employment history or who your beneficiary should be, helps us provide you with more accurate information about your retirement benefit. One way we do this is with a NYSLRS retirement estimate, an essential step of retirement planning. The NYSLRS retirement estimate provides you with an estimation of what your pension could be based on a retirement date of your choosing and the information we have on file for you.
