Can I dispute my post-retirement earnings indicated by TRS?
If you think the earnings amount indicated in your notification letter should not be counted toward your post-retirement earnings for this calendar year, you can file a Report of Income Earned Before Retirement (code RP86); you must file this form within 30 days of the date of your notification letter and you must include supporting documentation (e.g., pay stubs). Exempt earnings include: a) income earned before retirement (e.g., vacation pay, sick pay, termination pay, retroactive pay for salary increase); b) post-retirement income earned in a previous year; or c) income earned from any private employment, public employment outside New York State, or nonprofit organization.
