New York State and Local Retirement System (NYSLRS) and other New York public sector retirees are generally limited in how much they can earn in post-retirement employment with a participating employer. Exceeding these earnings caps may affect their pension.
School Districts and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES)
Employers of school districts and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) are required to report all public retirees, including independent contractors/consultants, who were on payroll during the previous calendar year (reporting requirements established by Section 217 of the Retirement and Social Security Law).
You must annually report all public retirees if:
- Your organization still uses legacy reporting; or
- Your organization has not used enhanced reporting for a full calendar year.
New: Post-Retirement Reporting Coming Soon to Retirement Online
The Retirement Internet Reporting (RIR) application, which provided access to the Post-Retirement Reporting (PRR) program, was decommissioned on May 31, 2024.
Beginning in 2025, a new page will be available in Retirement Online for employers who need to submit an annual report. You will receive an email with more information if you need to use the new page to report retiree earnings.
