If you reported more contributions than were owed for a member, you can request a refund of contributions by submitting an adjustment using a paper adjustment form if identified within one year of when the overpayment occurred. NYSLRS will credit the amount of the overpayment to you, and you will be responsible for refunding the member and correcting their W-2 form as applicable.

NYSLRS is prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) from returning overpaid contributions after one year.

Rev. 8/26
