No less frequently than once
every two years, every public pension retiree
and the surviving beneficiaries of such deceased
retirees, receive affidavits from their retirement
board. The purpose of this affidavit is to
verify that the retiree/beneficiary is living
and to update other key information such as
his/her current address. Confirmation of a
beneficiary’s dependency status is also
sought where it is relevant to continued receipt
of benefits. Any retiree/beneficiary who knowingly
makes false responses on this affidavit will
be investigated for fraud. Anyone who signs
an affidavit who is other than the retiree,
his/her beneficiary, or an individual with
a valid power of attorney will be investigated
for fraud.
