How to Receive Employees' Retirement System Annual Statement Online

Employee Retirement System (ERS) members can view their statement online for 2020 instead of waiting for it to be mailed to your home!  Member statements are through March 31 and should be ready to view online in May instead of waiting to June or July to receive it in the mail.  It is important to receive and review your statement once a year.

 To receive your 2020 Statement in Retirement Online, register for or sign in to your account (https://www.osc.state.ny.us/retire/retirement_online/customers.php). From your account homepage, scroll down and view the left side of the screen under the "my profile information box" and at the bottom of that section click ‘Update’ next to ‘Member Annual Statement by,’ and choose ‘email’ from the dropdown. When your Statement is ready to view in May, you’ll get an email that directs you to Retirement Online to see it.

You can also update your delivery preference for other NYSLRS correspondence by clicking ‘Update’ next to ‘Contact by’ on your account homepage. Choosing ‘email’ as your delivery preference will ensure you receive retirement information as quickly as possible.

Now is also a good time to check and update all your retirement system contact information in Retirement Online. After you sign in, click on ‘Update’ next to your home address and email address. This will take you to the page where you can edit your information and save the changes.  Please keep in mind that updating your address with the office of Human Resources does not automatically update your address with the Retirement System so please review your contact information and delivery preference to ensure you review all correspondence in the future.
