Deduction Information

The Deduction Information screen allows you to view deductions associated with your retirement benefit. In the upper part of the screen, you can select the specific benefit for which you want deduction information. If you are receiving only one benefit, you will not be able to select any other option. The rest of the screen contains the specific deduction information about the benefit you selected.

To access your deduction information, select the Deduction option from the menu on the left pane of the window. The Deduction Information screen appears.

If you have only one benefit, the screen automatically displays the deduction information for that benefit. If you have more than one benefit, the screen displays the information for the first benefit you received. If you have more than one benefit and would like to see deduction information for a benefit that is not currently displayed, click on the down arrow in the Benefit Type field and select the benefit you wish to view. The current deduction information for the selected benefit is displayed on the screen.

The following information is displayed for each individual deduction:

• Effective Date - Rate on which the deduction became effective.
• Deduction Code - Code associated with this deduction type.
• Amount - Total amount of the deduction.
• Apply Prior to Tax Calculation - This indicates whether or not this deduction is applied before tax calculations are made.
• Monthly Limit - Upper limit of this deduction for a month. No more than this amount can be deducted in a given month.
• Yearly Limit - Upper limit of this deduction for a year. No more than this amount can be deducted in a given year
• Lifetime Limit - Upper limit for this deduction. No more than this amount can ever be deducted.

If you have no deductions, you will see a message indicating there are no deductions on file.

If you feel that any of the information displayed on this screen is in error, contact your retirement office.
