FAQs (1/2)1. What should a retiree do to obtain a statement from the Fund for tax reporting

purposes?

Retirees can contact the Fund office by phone or email, in order to receive a tax statement of benefits. Retirees will automatically receive the tax statement in subsequent years.

2. What happens if a UNJSPF retiree is travelling and forgets to submit his or her CE?

The retiree should send a letter to the Fund as soon as possible, including the date, official address, name, retirement number with his/her official ORIGINAL signature. This letter will alert the Fund to prevent a potential future suspension.

3. What can a retiree do to facilitate the process for his or her survivor’s benefit?

To help your survivor be prepared, you should keep all of your records easily available, in order to be submitted to the Fund when applying for a survivor benefit. A list of these documents is on the Fund's website and contained in the Fund's booklet on survivor’s benefits.

4. How often are UNJSPF periodic benefits adjusted due to inflation?

Periodic benefits are adjusted when the cost-of-living in the country of residence has met the 2% threshold. If the threshold is not met in a given year, the movements are carried over to the next year.

5. What should I do if my pension payment is not received?

If your payment is not received and you are sure that there is no problem with your bank, you should contact the Fund by phone and/or email, either in New York or Geneva, as soon as possible, so that the Fund can research and take the necessary action to help ensure you receive your payment.
