Retirees: 2008 Benefit Verification “Final Notices” mailed

Retirees and beneficiaries: If you received a benefit payment from the MTRS in 2007, we sent you a Benefit Verification form in January 2008, which you were required to complete and return by March. To date, 98% of our retirees have submitted their forms—and we sincerely thank all of you who responded for your prompt attention and cooperation. If you have not yet returned your form, you will receive a Final Notice in June; please be sure to complete and submit it by July 15, or your MTRS benefits will be suspended, beginning with your July payment. Questions? See About the Benefit Verification process.
