Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I sign up for Direct Deposit?

A: HMEPS strongly recommends that you sign up for Direct Deposit when you retire, so your checks will be electronically deposited to your account in your financial institution. Application forms are available from the HMEPS office or you can download them directly from the "Forms" page of this website. You must take the application form to the financial institution where you want your checks deposited to get a signed certification of the account numbers. HMEPS must be kept informed in writing of any changes in your home address after you retire, even if you use Direct Deposit, so periodic statements, news updates, and your form 1099-R can be mailed to you.
