PREP Seminar Modules Available Online
Due to social distancing restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, NYSTRS will not be
holding group Pension & Retirement Education Program (PREP) seminars this summer or fall. However, members can now watch video versions of all our PREP seminar modules online at their convenience on the Retirement Planning > Pension & Retirement Education Program page at NYSTRS.org. We also plan to hold benefits presentations virtually over the coming months, and we will post news about this program shortly on our website.
Additionally, even though we are not holding in-person benefits consultations at this time, members can get all the important information they need in a phone consultation with one of our Retirement System representatives. Members can book an appointment through their MyNYSTRS account or by calling us at (800) 348-7298.
