Retirement Online Notifications

Employers sometimes receive Retirement Online system notifications. These notifications provide important details about your reports or employees, and you may receive multiple notifications about the same matter for each employee affected.

It is important to review and act on notifications in a timely manner. Use the information in the table below to determine what is required and whether you can manually remove the notification from your panel. If you fail to act on a notification by the due date, the notification will be removed, and you will be contacted by NYSLRS.

To find notifications that apply to you, use the dropdown menu to select your security role. Then, click “Filter.”

• The Employer Reporting Submitter and Employer Reporting Uploader security roles do not apply to State employers.
• The Billing security role is not listed in the dropdown menu and does not receive any notifications at this time. (Note: this security role also does not apply to State employers.)

If you do not understand a notification that you have received, call the Retirement Online Help Desk at 844-619-9614.
