GERS Administrator/CEO, Austin L. Nibbs, would like to advise all retirees that the new IRS W-4P form must 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 January 31, 2023.

Join the GERS alongside the Virgin Islands Internal Revenue Bureau on Friday, January 20, 2023, at 11:00 am via Zoom as we conduct a “How to Complete the New W4-P” for assistance and clarification in filling out the new form by:
