ANNUAL NOTICE OF RIGHT TO ELECT OR REVOKE FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
LACERS is required to inform you that your periodic benefit payments from LACERS may be subject to Federal Income Tax withholding unless you elect not to withhold. If your benefit becomes effective in 2026, and a completed Form W-4P is not on file with LACERS, your withholding will be calculated as if your filing status is Single with no adjustments. For benefits that began before 2026, your current withholding remains in effect unless you submit a new Form W-4P.
Federal Law allows you to change or revoke the amount withheld from your monthly payments at any time. This notice is to comply with the annual Federal notice requirement.
A. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR CURRENT WITHHOLDING:
• NO ACTION IS REQUIRED; AND
• YOUR CURRENT WITHHOLDING REMAINS IN EFFECT.
B. If you choose to make changes or revoke your current election:
• You must submit a new Federal Withholding Form W-4P. Access the form on our Tax Forms webpage. You may also contact LACERS at (800) 779-8328 or RTT (888) 349-3996 and request the form be mailed to you.
• Your completed form can be returned to LACERS via:
