It’s important to keep us informed of your current address. This will ensure that if you’re not enrolled in our Direct Deposit program you will receive your monthly retirement benefit check. Having your correct address is important even if you receive your benefit by direct deposit. A current address on file ensures you’ll receive the tax information and newsletters we send you.

The United States Postal Service will only forward your benefit check and other correspondence to another address for a limited time (assuming you have filed a Change of Address Order with them). You can contact us regarding your address change by letter, fax or telephone. If you’re sending a letter or fax, be sure to include your name, old and new address, retirement or social security number, and signature in your correspondence. If you call us, we’ll ask you questions confirming your identity before we change your address in our records. Please realize that we must have a signed letter from you if your new address includes a PO Box or a location outside of the United States.
