Yes, please tell the Fund if you change your address, your bank information or your email address. If you've decided to change the beneficiary on your retired death benefit, or if the person receiving the survivor portion of your annuity dies, you definitely need to contact us. It's not just a matter of paperwork; changes to your account could result in an increase in your monthly check or a loss of benefits to your loved ones. Call us at 800-RET-YMCA and find out.
 

Yes. When you sign up for the Fund's Electronic Funds Transfer program, your monthly annuity will be sent directly to your bank account. The money is available on the first business day of each month--no worry, no hassles, no kidding. Three times a year, the Fund will send a notice showing your monthly transaction and your year-to-date balance for your records. To sign up, simply complete the Electronic Deposit of Annuity Payments form, sign it and mail it with a voided check from the designated account to the YMCA Retirement Fund, 140 Broadway, New York, NY 10005.
