Upon the death of  a NYSUT member, there are a number of entities that should be informed including his/her Retirement System. 

Life is complicated.  NYSUT Member Benefits can help. The Peer Support Line is a new & free service available through NYSUT Member Benefits that's offered at no cost to all NYSUT members and their families.

Retirement opens a brand new chapter in your life and we hope it is filled with good health and wonderful moments that you can share with the people that you love. NYSUT has been standing beside you throughout your career and we want you to know that we will continue to be available for you in retirement.

On behalf of the NYSUT officers and Board of Directors, we are proud to provide you with this publication, “Your Blueprint for a Successful Retirement: An online planning guide,” as a resource for planning the next chapter in your life — retirement! We hope this publication helps make your transition from work to retirement as easy as possible.

Welcome to Retirement!!! Your union continues to fight for your rights, your pension and all that you’ve earned in your professional career.

There are now more than 230,000 NYSUT retirees. No other union matches NYSUT's retired structure.
