Changing Your Tax Withholdings

You may be choosing to have LAGERS withhold taxes from your monthly benefit. However, you have the flexibility to change these withholdings as your tax situation changes throughout retirement.

You can change your tax withholdings through your myLAGERS account or you can complete a new tax withholding form online through the LAGERS website and send it back to the LAGERS office.
