The workers are so short patient. And all I wanted to ask was a question about my money in the pension. I’m waiting 7weeks for an application summary about buying back some time and I’m still waiting. I truly dislike going or calling the NYCER office. Calling is a hour or 2 you’ll be on hold

Marian Gordon | Oct 13, 2021
Keenya Harris-Martinez | Oct 13, 2021

Being off payroll. You must be actively on payroll in order to qualify. You've also had to have waited at least one year from your last loan. One loan every 12 months. If your loan is in default you cannot take one.

roger Barometer | Oct 13, 2021

Because of the Pandemic, Covid-19, many official workers are working at home to prevent the spread of the virus. Also, it's a limited number of employees they chose to answer the phone. Unfortunately, because of so many people are calling with regard to their questions they have for retirement, thus, it takes a long time for a member to answer the phone when it rings. Sorry for the inconveniences.

1.66% x 17 = 28% of final average salary. At 20 years you get 2% x the number of years or 40%. It keeps increasing with the number of years you work. Do make a trip to NYCERS to get an estimate. They are very helpful. Hang in there.

The pension could only go to the wife if he left an option to her like 5 year option or 10 year option or life option That means he get less on his pension but she gets the option. Now they have insurance not much it could be about $14,000 if he has your name on that then claim it I would call NYCERS asap. Then check to see if his union has death insurance for him that could be about $5,000 to $30,000

Visit NYCERS.org, download F380, which is the authorization for electronic funds transfer form. You may also call and request to have it faxed or e-mailed. You must provide a voided check or a customized letter from your bank for EFT purposes. The form takes about 30 days to process once received.

If you remember joining via application and never withdrew or got a refund of your contributions, then you most likely are vested...meaning you have a right to receive lifetime monthly pension checks. If you can locate an old paycheck stub you can find your 6 digit pension # there and call them up. Or visit at 340 Jay Street in downtown Brooklyn with a valid photo ID to get your member # and plan information, you can also wait and get a benefit estimate there. Also visit nycers.org to create an online profile (once you have your 6 digit p# that is)

If the date comes for your loan to be repaid is the total amount of repayment take out in one shot.

Dee S | Oct 14, 2019
M A | Oct 14, 2019

When you apply for a loan with NYCERS, the system automatically calculates the repayment schedule not to exceed 5 years. If you have registered your MyNYCERS.org profile, you can use the loan calculator to indicate the amount you want taken out of each paycheck. The calculator will also tell you if the new loan is subject to taxes. If so, you will get your full loan, minus the $30 fee and a 1099r at the end of that year (unless you opt to withhold taxes at the time of the loan). You can make additional payments toward your outstanding loan balance at any time online by clicking "Make a Payment," on the left side of your profile. Also, if you wish to make a lump sum payment, take a look at the "Payoff Amount" which gives you the total balance MINUS 2 payroll deductions. Which means you can expect just 2 more payroll deductions after submitting the payoff amount.
