VERIFY YOUR ERS MEMBERSHIP!

Many people think they automatically become members of the New York State Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) when they are hired. This is NOT true!

To become a member of the ERS, you must fill out a form: “Employees’ Retirement System Membership Registration” (Form RS 5420) Usually, this happens at your employer’s orientation or when you fill out the paperwork for things such as medical and dental benefits or tax withholding.
