DIRECT DEPOSIT-MONTHLY DEDUCTION FORM

Retirees, you may use this form to change your direct deposit information and/or to select monthly deductions from your monthly retirement distribution. Download the form to your printer, complete it and mail it to the pension office. Monthly deductions selected will be paid by check to the payee listed.

 

MONTHLY PENSION DEDUCTIONS FOR INSURANCE PREMIUMS EFFECTIVE
JANUARY 1, 2012


Notification of changes to any deductions from your pension check that is due January 1, 2012 must be made in writing by completing a new Direct Deposit Deduction Form. The original, signed, completed form must be received by the pension office no later than Thursday, December 1, 2011, no exceptions! If you pass this deadline you will be responsible for submitting payment directly to the City of Palm Bay for the difference of what you currently have deducted from your monthly pension versus any revised amounts owed.

If you have health coverage through the City of Palm Bay and have those premiums deducted from your monthly retirement check, then you must contact Jennifer Clark, City of Palm Bay Benefits Coordinator at (321) 952-3421, ext. 3203. There may be changes to the current health coverage being offered. She expects letters to go out to retirees impacted around the first week of November with on-line open enrollment November 14-28, 2011.  She anticipates information/computer lab sessions to be held November 14-22, 2011.  Should you have any questions concerning your monthly pension deductions, call the pension office immediately at (321) 724-8877.

New federal withholding tax tables were implemented by SunTrust Bank effective January 1, 2011 that increased rates for most retirees.  Please check your current withholding.
