The service you provide via your monthly reports is accumulated from service days worked, service days from hours, and service days from fee and posted to each member's account. Once we have all monthly reports posted, this information, along with the member's salary information, is used in the generation of the comprehensive NYSTRS Benefit Profile.

During the course of a member's career, it may be necessary for us to ask you for information regarding a member's SALARY RECEIVED for specific years. In that case you may be sent a Uncredited Member Service (MAC-46), Uncredited Member Service-Quarterly (MAC-44), or Uncredited Member Service-Semi-Annual (MAC-44.1) form.
-
The MAC-46 form is used for requesting salary data for school years prior to 1972-73.
-
The MAC-44 requests salary information for school years 1972-73 through 1992-93.
-
The MAC-44.1 requests salary information for school year 1993-94 and after when semi-annual reporting began.
The definitions of the salary terms used on these forms are identical to those used for employer reporting and are provided in Section 2: Employer Reporting for School Districts or Section 3: Employer Reporting for Colleges, as it applies to your employer. Employers are urged to take the same care in completing these forms as is used in other reports to the System. Specific attention should be given to the area of CONTRACT SALARY on the MAC-44 and MAC-44.1 forms. This area should reflect the full-time rate of pay as it would normally appear on your Employer Report. Questions regarding the completion of these forms should be directed to our Subsequent Service Unit at (800) 348-7298, Ext. 6075 (447-2900 if calling from the Albany area).
Should you have reason to advise us of previously unreported salary or to correct salary reports previously submitted, a letter of explanation to our Subsequent Service Unit should suffice. Please provide us with ALL the salary information necessary for us to adjust our files, such as school year(s) affected, SALARY RECEIVED, SALARY EARNED, and CONTRACT SALARY. Members will be notified if service credit changes.
