Employees must apply for a service retirement 15–90 days before their chosen date of retirement.

Encourage your employees to use Retirement Online to apply for their service retirement. It’s fast and convenient with no forms to mail in and nothing to have notarized.

They’ll be able to upload documents while applying or after submitting their application. If they need to update their application, they can quickly and easily submit changes online before their date of retirement. And when they use Retirement Online, NYSLRS receives their application immediately and is able to process it faster than a paper form.
