plan, 403-b tax sheltered annuity plan or 401 qualied trust), and have an existing loan through that plan, you must disclose this information

our System. Note that this may result in signicant tax consequences on your loan from this System. (See tax information on page 4.)

Loan Type– You must select ONLY ONE of the following or we cannot accept your application.

A. Loan Type 1 – Check here if you want a loan and do NOT have an existing loan with us.

B. Loan Type 2 – (This is called a multiple loan.) Check here if you already have a loan with us and want to take another loan.

The single repayment amount for multiple loans is higher than a single repayment on a renanced loan.

C. Loan Type 3 – (This is called a renanced loan.) Check here if you already have a loan with us and want to add to it.

WARNING! The taxable amount for a renanced loan will always be greater than for a multiple loan, unless the entire amount of

the renanced loan is non-taxable. To avoid severe tax consequences, verify your taxable amount using our automated information line.

I am aware of the possible tax consequences of taking a renanced loan and authorize the Retirement System to process

my application as indicated.

Instructions and Information For Filling Out Loan Application

Personal Information

Instructions

A. Complete the entire section.

B. Complete this section only if you want your check sent to an address other than your permanent mailing address. Give the name of the person

(or employer) the check should be mailed to in care of, otherwise it will be returned to us.

Required Information – Must be Completed

General Information

Your employer is a participating employer in The New York State & Local Retirement System (System). The System is a Section 401(a)

qualied trust. In addition to membership in the System, your employer may offer other types of retirement plans. Before we can issue

a loan to you, the Internal Revenue Service requires us to inquire whether you have outstanding loans in other retirement plans offered

by your employer. For this purpose, include loans from plans sponsored by the employer upon which your System membership is

based.

Loans from private sector employer plans or retirement accounts are not included.

Two common employer-sponsored retirement savings plans are:

Section 457, a deferred compensation plan, is a voluntary supplemental retirement savings plan sponsored by your current employer. It enables

public employees to save a portion of their gross pay before Federal and State income taxes are deducted.

Section 403(b), a tax sheltered annuity plan, is an employer-sponsored retirement savings program. By law, participation is limited to employees

of public educational organizations and certain nonprot organizations.

Other, less common employer-sponsored retirement savings plans are:

Section 403(a) qualied annuity

Section 401 qualied trusts

Loan Type

General Information

Choose only one type of loan. If you do not check any of the boxes, or if you choose more than one type of loan, your application will be rejected.

Instructions

A. Check Loan Type 1 only if you do not have an existing loan from us and are requesting one.

B. Loan Type 2 (multiple loan) allows you to take another, separate loan from us. Multiple loans have separate ve year due dates on which the minimum

payments are calculated. These minimum payments are then added together for a total minimum payment. That is why if you take another loan

under this option, you will have a higher minimum payment than if you renance. However, the payments for all loans will be combined so you only

have one payroll deduction.

C. Loan Type 3 (renanced loan) allows you to add the new loan amount to your existing loan balance and renance the entire amount as one loan

instead of taking another, separate loan. Minimum repayment amounts for renanced loans are less than multiple loans because we add on the

amount you are currently requesting to your existing loan. We then renance the total amount for another ve years. Because of the increased

taxable amount for a renanced loan, Federal withholding can signicantly reduce the loan amount payable to you.

Loan Amount

General Information

There are various tax thresholds and circumstances that determine when a loan is taxable and what portion of a loan is taxable. Before choosing

a taxable or non-taxable loan, you should call our automated information line to get specic information regarding the amount you want to borrow.

The maximum non-taxable loan amount will be less for a renanced loan (Loan Type 3) than for a multiple loan (Loan Type 2), unless the entire

amount of the renanced loan is non-taxable.

The taxable amount for a renanced loan (Type 3) will always be more than if you take a multiple loan (Loan Type 2), unless the entire amount of

the renanced loan is non-taxable.

When choosing the Loan Repayment Amount, you can choose either to repay the minimum amount or a higher than minimum amount each pay

period. The minimum amount will be based on your payroll frequency and how much you must repay each payroll period based on a ve-year

repayment plan. We will calculate what the minimum repayment is if you choose this option.

If you select minimum payment and have multiple loans, your payroll deduction will equal the total of the minimum payments for each loan. After

your oldest loan is repaid, your payroll deduction will be reduced by the amount you had been paying on that loan.

Instructions

A. Check one box to tell us how much you want to borrow. You have three choices:

i. A loan for the maximum non-taxable amount we can provide you by law (Box i)

ii. A specic loan amount, up to the maximum amount available (Box ii). You must enter the amount you want to borrow.

iii. A loan for the maximum amount we can provide you by law (a portion of this may be taxable) (Box iii)

B. You may repay more than the minimum amount, if you wish. Indicate the exact amount you want to repay each pay period. If you want to repay more

than the minimum amount and are requesting Loan Type 2 (multiple loans), your payroll loan deduction will remain the same until all loans are paid,

a new loan is taken, or you request in writing that your payment be changed to the minimum amount due.

C. Federal Tax Withheld – Federal law requires us to withhold Federal tax at a rate of 10 percent of the taxable amount of the loan unless you elect not

to have this automatic withholding apply. Federal withholding can signicantly reduce the loan amount payable to you.

Payroll Information

Instructions

A. Give us your employer’s full name so we can notify them to take loan deductions.

B. Provide your gross annual salary.

C. To determine your loan repayment amount, we need to know how often you are paid (check one box only).

D. Tell us what your term of employment is (check one box only).

Signature

We cannot accept your loan application unless it is signed.

Notary Public Acknowledgement

The application must be notarized or it will be rejected.

RS 5025-A (Rev. 2/15) Page 4 of 4

ALL TIER 3, 4, 5 AND 6 LOANS ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING:

You must be in active service with the State or a participating employer

and have credit for at least one year of member service. Members on

a leave of absence are not considered to be in active service. If you

are retiring, your loan application must be received before your date of

retirement for it to be processed.

Only one loan may be granted in a 12-month period.

A loan may not be granted for less than $1,000. If your current

contribution balance, including interest, does not total at least $1,334,

you are not eligible for a loan.

The maximum loan permitted under law is 75 percent of the amount

you have on deposit in your contribution account, less any outstanding

loan balance. If the requested loan amount exceeds the legal limit, your

application will be processed for the maximum amount permitted.

The minimum repayments must be in an amount sufcient to repay

the loan within ve years and be at least 2 percent of salary. Loan

repayments are in even dollar amounts and must be paid through

payroll deductions. If you leave the payroll, or you are on an authorized

leave of absence, please call us for information on repaying your

loan. If you do not make payments on your loan quarterly or complete

payment within ve years of the date the loan is issued, whichever

comes rst, your loan will be in default. At the time a default occurs, the

entire amount due on your loan, minus any previously taxed portion,

must be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a lump sum

distribution from a qualied plan. However, the balance on a defaulted

loan is still owed, and interest and insurance charges continue

to accrue until the balance is paid in full. If any of your loans are in

default, you will be unable to borrow from us in the future until the entire

balance on all loans in default has been repaid. If you are called to

active military duty, special rules apply. Please contact our Call Center.

All loans are subject to a service charge which will be deducted from

the loan at the time it is issued. As of the date of printing, the service

charge is $20.00. To conrm the current service charge, please call us.

Do not send a check or money order to cover the service charge.

WARNING! If you retire or withdraw from the Retirement System and

have an outstanding loan on the effective date of your retirement or

withdrawal, part or all of the loan balance may constitute taxable funds

which were credited to your account and, therefore, would be subject

to Federal income tax in the year in which you retire or withdraw.

Since this income would not be reportable until you retire or withdraw,

information regarding the amount will be furnished to you at that time.

The current loan interest rate is 6.5 percent. To conrm the current

rate at any time, please call us. The interest rate will remain xed for

the term of your loan. Interest charges are based on the outstanding

balance at the beginning of each month.

Loans are fully insured against the death of a member prior to

retirement. There is no insurance for the rst 30 days. Premiums

to cover the cost of this insurance are based on the amount of the

loan and your age, and are built into the repayment schedule. Loan

insurance does not cover you if you become disabled or unemployed.

IMPORTANT BENEFIT INFORMATION

If you have an outstanding loan balance at the time of your retirement, your benet will be permanently reduced. The following table shows the

approximate annual reduction in benets for each $1,000 of loan outstanding at retirement if you retire at various ages:

IMPORTANT FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

Existing loans with a deferred compensation or tax sheltered annuity plan: If you have an existing loan from one of these plans, both the current

loan balance and the current contribution balance will be taken into account when calculating the taxability of the loan from this system.

1. Loans over $50,000:

No outstanding loan when new loan granted: Loans that exceed $50,000 must be reported to the IRS as a distribution from a qualied plan to the

extent that the loan exceeds $50,000, less the highest outstanding loan balance in the past 12 months.

Renanced Loan: Renanced loans that cause the outstanding loan balance at the time the new loan is granted (old balance) when added to the

replacement loan (old balance plus the new loan amount) to exceed $50,000, less the difference between the highest total outstanding balance

during the past year and the ‘old balance,’ must be reported to the IRS as a distribution from a qualied plan to the extent that the loan exceeds this

amount.

Multiple Loans

: Loans that cause the loan account (total of all outstanding loans plus the new loan) to exceed $50,000, less the difference between

the highest total outstanding balance during the past year and the total old balance (total of all outstanding loans prior to new loan), must be reported

to the IRS as a distribution from a qualied plan to the extent that the loan account exceeds this amount.

Any portion of the distribution amount that cannot be offset by your after-tax contribution will be reported to the IRS as ordinary income.

2. Loans under $50,000:

If there is no outstanding loan or a separate multiple loan is granted, and the new loan results in the total ‘outstanding balance’ being more than

the greater of (a) $10,000 or (b) 50 percent of the present value of your accrued non-forfeitable benet, the amount over that gure will be reported

to the IRS as ordinary income for the current year. If you are not vested, the present value of your accrued non-forfeitable benet is equal to your

contribution balance. If you are vested, the present value of your accrued non-forfeitable benet is an actuarially determined amount. For renanced

loans, the ‘outstanding balance’ is the total of both the loan balance at the time the new loan is granted and the renanced loan amount (which

includes the loan balance at the time the new loan is granted).

3. If you go off the payroll, or your loan payments stop prematurely, contact the Call Center to make arrangements to repay your loan directly. If

you do not make payments on your loan at least once every three months, or do not complete repayment within ve years from the date the loan is

issued, your loan will default. When a loan defaults, the outstanding balance, minus any previously taxed amount, must be reported to the IRS as

ordinary income.

4. If you are under age 59½ at the time any part of your loan becomes reportable, you may be subject to an additional 10 percent penalty tax. The

Federal Internal Revenue Code imposes this penalty tax on amounts deemed to be a distribution prior to your actual retirement.
