The District of Columbia Retirement Board (DCRB) has several helpful resources to use after you retire, including a pension payment schedule and tax information.
Pension Payment Schedule
For your convenience, the table below lists the dates when your pension payment and earnings statement will be mailed to you. All correspondence will be sent to the mailing address we have on file. Please remember to update DCRB if you move or if your mailing address changes to ensure that you continue to receive your payments and earnings statements in a timely manner.
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Date
Complete the Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization Form to keep your banking information up to date. If your bank account information is incorrect, the bank will return the funds to DCRB electronically, and you will need to contact our agency to have a replacement payment issued to you.
Check Mailing Date
Checks are issued by a third-party financial institution and mailed via USPS several days before the end of the month. If you have not received your mailed check by the 10th of the month, contact DCRB.per Checks Mailed
