Monthly Benefit Checks

1. Direct Deposit - If the check is directly deposited with a financial institution, the Change of Address form can be completed using the online form found under the “PIN” link.
    
2. Paper Check – If the check is mailed, the Change of Address form on this page may be filled out, printed, signed and mailed to LASERS. Retirees may still contact LASERS to have a Change of Address form mailed to them. Once received, the form may be completed with an original signature and mailed to LASERS. LASERS does require the retiree's signature before an address will be changed. If the retiree's signature has changed because of health reasons, the retiree must sign the form in the presence of a:
   1. LASERS Retirement Benefit Analyst, or
   2. Notary Public.

   Changes of addresses received by LASERS prior to the 15th of the month will be effective on the next monthly benefit check.
