Tier 3, Tier 4 and Tier 6 disability retirees are required each
year to report any earnings from the public or private sector
(Personal Service Income). This fact sheet provides answers to
the most frequently asked questions regarding Personal Service

will explain the information that appears on the check. We
encourage you to instead consider having your pension check
directly deposited into the account of your choice through
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT).
