NYSTRS Benefit Profiles are mailed out each January to active members. If you do not receive your profile by mid-February you should contact the retirement system. The major reason for not receiving your profile is a member’s omission in notifying the retirement system of a change of address.

Once you receive your profile you should verify the accuracy of information reported to the System (i.e., salaries, days of service). Your eligibility for current and future benefits, as well as the calculation of those benefits, will depend on this information. The benefit projections, including death and disability benefits, can help you make important financial decisions at each stage of your career. Be sure to review your designated beneficiary as your personal life might have had a few changes during the past year. Remember, you can also visit the Secure Area of the NYSTRS Web site to access your Profile at any time.
