Sign Up for NYSLRS’ Retirement Online
The New York State and Local Retirement System (NYSLRS) has a new way for you to access and manage your retirement information.
Retirement Online gives NYSLRS retirees a convenient and secure way to review your benefits and conduct transactions in real time. In many cases, you’ll be able to use Retirement Online instead of sending forms through the mail or calling NYSLRS.
With Retirement Online, you can: • View your benefit information • Update your contact
information
• Manage your beneficiaries • Create a verification of
income letter.
Retirement Online is also safe to use — NYSLRS has incorporated several security measures similar to those used by financial institutions.
NYSLRS is committed to providing you a safe and secure experience. When registering, you’ll be asked a series of questions to verify your identity. The questions are provided by a trusted third- party source, and NYSLRS does
not store the questions or your answers. It is recommended you
use Retirement Online with Internet Explorer.
“This is a simple, secure tool
for our active members to use to fully prepare for the next stage of their lives, as well as for our retiree members to use to help continue to manage their retirement benefits,” said CSEA President Danny Donohue. “I urge our members to take advantage of this new tool.”
Visit the NYSLRS website to learn more about Retirement Online, and take a few minutes to create your new account.
If you have any questions or need help completing the registration
process, please call the NYSLRS Contact Center at 1-866-805- 0990 or 518-474-7736 and select option
