Retirees expecting termination pay should be sure that the Department of Education has their correct address. If you have moved since you retired, you must update your address with the DOE.
You must also send your new address to the school secretary in the last school in which you worked. During the school year checks are forwarded to your last payroll school location.
Checks issued during the summer months are held at the Office of Check Management until September. If you would like to know if you were issued a termination check, please contact the Termination Pay Unit at 1-718-935-2221, from Monday through Thursday, between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Effective April 30, our members must fill out a new Personal and Tax Data Change form which may be obtained through the DOE Web site at http://schools.nyc.gov. Click on Human Resources, then DHR Forms under Tools and Resources on the left. Then scroll down and click on Personal and Tax Data Change form under Personal and Tax Data Changes.
Instructions are listed on the form. All retirees must submit their changes directly to the DOE by either mailing it to: NYC Department of Education, Division of Human Resources/HR Connect, 65 Court St., Brooklyn, NY 11201, or faxing it to 1-718-935-3423.
This new form replaces the OP85 that has been used in the past. If you do not have access to a computer, you can call the UFT Retiree Pension Department at 1-212-598-9536 and we will mail you a form.
