For those members who use the Treasurer's New England Automated Clearing House for direct deposit, those dates are also included.

If you are receiving your pension check from either the State or Teachers' Board, please remember that you must notify your respective board of any address or deposit change by the 15th of the month in which the change is to be made. If the board is notified after the 15th, then the change will not be made until the following month.

We encourage all our members to use the direct bank deposit system if their retirement board offers it. If you're worried about theft or frequently change your address, direct deposit, which is generally considered safer than the mail, may be the best method for receiving your pension. In fact, most members do use direct deposit.
