Retirees may now view their monthly benefit income statement online.

This capability provides retirees with an electronic record of their statements, whether they receive benefits via direct deposit or paper check. The electronic Benefit Income Statement includes information about the pension benefit, taxes withheld, health insurance premiums and more. It provides retirees with the same online access to income statements that active employees have.

"As faculty and staff retire, they are looking for the same electronic options in retirement that they had as employees," says Christy Thompson, manager of HR applications. The online benefit income statement is the first of several new online features HR expects to provide retirees in the coming months.

To view your statements, visit At Your Service and select "Sign in to my account."  Enter your username and password and then select "Benefit Income Statement" under "Retirement & Savings."

Statements dating back to January 2009 are available for viewing, and up to 18 months of statements will be available online.  For recent retirees, a combination of the past 18 months of payroll statements (select "Earnings Statement" under "Income & Taxes") and retirement benefit income statements are posted.

UC will continue to send paper statements in addition to posting the statement online. At a future date, retirees may be able to elect to not receive a paper statement.
