Frequently Asked Questions
Receiving Benefits
Q: How and when may I receive my monthly benefit check?
A:All benefit recipients must have their monthly check electronically deposited to a bank, credit union, or any other financial institution. The funds will be available on the 20th of the month or the first business day following, if the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday.
Q: My benefit is being electronically transferred to my bank.
Will I receive a monthly notice?
A:To reduce the costs of mailing, HPRS does not mail monthly pension stubs. You may request a stub to be mailed to you only when the amount changes at no charge to you. If you want a stub to be mailed to you each month, please sign up for our mailing service, which is $1 monthly. Otherwise, monthly emails are sent to members who request them.
Many financial institutions, including the State Highway Patrol Federal Credit Union, offer an automated telephone system that will verify a recent deposit. You can also access your account on-line by logging into the secure area of our website. And, of course, if you have questions, you may always call us at the retirement system.
Q: What do I need to do if I wish to change any deductions from my pension benefit?
A:To change your withholdings or deductions, you may log into our secure website and make minor changes directly. Select Direct Deposit or Change Tax Withholdings and make the appropriate changes, then click update or submit. Anything you need changed that is not listed, you must contact HPRS staff.
HPRS also accepts changes through your written request that includes your signature. The form for your direct deposit or tax withholding change is located on the HPRS website, under "Forms". Complete the applicable form and fax, email, or mail it to HPRS.
