The Teachers’ Retirement System may ask retirees to complete a Retirement Allowance Verification Form to confirm that they are still living and eligible to receive benefits. The form also helps TRS keep retirees’ contact information current.

If you receive such a letter, don’t ignore it. It is an official TRS communication, and it’s essential that you or your legal representative respond with the information requested. If you don’t respond after two reminders, your monthly retirement allowance payments and your city health benefits will be suspended.

You can complete the verification process in one of these ways:

• Fill out the form and have it notarized.
• Fill out the form and have your physician sign it.
• Fill out the form and provide a copy of a government-issued ID and a current photo of yourself.
