Many have voiced concern about the message on the
back of their annual COLA notice received in late December from OPM that
said future form 1099Rs would only be available electronically.
OPM has since
informed NARFE they will provide instructions this year to annuitants on how
they can “opt-in” to receive
their 1099Rs electronically, indicating to us that if an annuitant doesn’t “opt-in”
for electronic receipt, then their 1099Rs will be mailed as they have
been in the past.
OPM added it will continue to work with all annuitants to
ensure they get the information they desire in the format they find useful to
the maximum extent possible. OPM will provide annuitants and survivors with
additional information on this matter throughout the year. And as always, NARFE
will provide up to date information throughout the year on this matter.
