Therefore, it is strongly encouraged that all retirees who are not enrolled in the ACH (Direct Deposit) program do so immediately, as we are also strictly limiting in-person services to protect the GERS staff and you our members.
A letter is being distributed to all retirees not currently enrolled in the program, along with the required Direct Deposit form, necessary documents and identification to be completed and returned to the GERS offices.
