There are three types of pension statements available to NYCERS retirees, beneficiaries, and active/vested members:  

Award Letter  

An Award Letter serves as an official verification of the status of the retirement allowance awarded to a retiree or beneficiary. For retirees, an Award Letter outlines the effective retirement date and monthly amount awarded to them. 

Award Letters are also available for beneficiaries receiving a monthly survivor benefit and outlines deceased retiree’s effective date of retirement, the option chosen by the decedent at retirement, decedent’s name, and the monthly amount awarded to the beneficiary.  

To view, download, or print your Award Letter, log in to your MyNYCERS account and navigate to View My: Documents. Once you’re there, click the Generate Award Letter button located under the Award Letter tab. If your Award Letter is not available online, click the Contact link to submit a Service Request, or, if you do not have access to MyNYCERS, call NYCERS’ Call Center to speak with a representative.  

Note: You may need to disable your popup blocker to access your Award Letter online.  

Pension Statement  

Quarterly Pension Statements are no longer issued but NYCERS can provide retirees, beneficiaries, and court appointed alternate payees with a detailed year-to-date Pension Statement upon request.  

A Pension Statement shows a monthly accounting of pension payments you received and includes details such as deductions for health insurance, taxes, and union dues, as well as supplemental payments for Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA), and Tier 1 and 2 Annuity Reserve Fund (ARF) payments. 

To request a copy of your Pension Statement, log in to MyNYCERS and click the Contact link to submit a Service Request, or, if you do not have access to MyNYCERS, call NYCERS’ Call Center to speak with a representative. Once your request is processed, your Pension Statement will be mailed to you and, for those with a registered MyNYCERS account, made available in the Main tab of your Documents page.

Active NYCERS members currently working for the City and Vested members who left City Service receive an Annual Disclosure Statement. The ADS is only available online in your MyNYCERS account. Learn more at Active and Vested Annual Disclosure Statement (ADS)  .
