DRS Retirement statements available online

DRS Plan participants, your 2016 annual retirement statement is available from the state Department of Retirement Systems. If you’re a member of DRS, TRS, or LEOFF, you can log in to your online account to view balances for your defined benefit service credit, plus your contributions and interest.. Remember that in a defined benefit plan, your years of service credit are a key part of the formula that determines your eventual retirement income.  Contributions by you or the UW do not influence your retirement income.  Those in Plan 3 should be receiving a separate statement directly from the recordkeeper about your contributions and earnings.

If you’re not signed up for online account access at DRS, why not register now? It’s easy, secure and takes only a few minutes.

First-time users can create a secure online account at https://fortress.wa.gov/drs/drsloginsso/. Contact DRS at 800-547-6657 if you need assistance.

In addition, now is a good time to check your Social Security benefit statement to get a better picture of your estimated retirement income.  You can download a copy of your benefit statement at the Social Security Administration secure website at  http://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/. ( First-time users will need to first create a secure online account).
