Retirees should make sure their mailing address is current by December 31 in order to receive important information from NYSLRS in the coming year. We’ll be mailing 1099-R tax documents in late January and Retiree Annual Statements in February.
Remember, if you file an address change order with the Post Office, they will only forward your mail for a limited time.
