When do the benefit payments begin to be deducted from my pension?

For retirees who retire on July 1, the first deduction is taken from their September pension check because active employee benefits do not terminate until August 31. For all others, the retiree benefit payments typically begin at the end of the month that you retire. There are times where the benefit payment may be delayed a month or so, due to Maryland State Pension not having your account set up on time. In such an instance, you will be billed for the month that the benefit premium was not deducted by our third party billing company.
