Submitting your payroll deduction reports

Please remember to indicate the name of your school district and the deduction report period on the face of your contribution check, and to clearly label your diskette with the name of your district and the month the report is for. Likewise, be sure to submit a completed Retirement Deduction Submittal form (1 page, pdf) with your monthly submission. This will enable us to easily match your contributions with the associated data submissions, and the payroll processing system we use will work more efficiently.

Please send all checks and deduction reports (diskette) to:

W6970
Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement System
P.O. Box 7777
Philadelphia, PA 19175-6970

If you wish to use an overnight delivery service, address your package to:

Mellon Financial
701 Market Street
AIM 199-3490
Philadelphia, PA 19107
ATTN: Lockbox Supervisor, Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement System, Lockbox 6970

Mellon Bank & Trust will send us all deduction reports received via next-day courier service. As a reminder, all monthly deduction reports are due at the MTRS’s lockbox by the 10th of the month following the reporting period.
