HOW TO: Start, Change or Cancel Direct Deposit

The Direct Deposit Form is used to start, change or cancel direct deposits. Please print out, complete and mail the form to the Department. Please call DROP/Retired Member Services with questions. Follow the instructions below to ensure your form is completed properly.

Due to stringent deadlines, your form may not be processed until the month following receipt. When changing or canceling your direct deposit we suggest leaving your existing account open until your request has been completed. If your account is closed prematurely, your money may “float” or be missing for three to four weeks.
