Government Employees Retirement System (GERS) Administrator/CEO Austin L. Nibbs advises all retirees that the new IRS W-4P form must be filled out by each member.

The revised form W-4P (withholding certificate for periodic pension or annuity payments) includes substantial changes to the federal tax withholding elections available. As a result, you may see a slight change in your annuity payments as of Jan. 31, 2023.
