Instructions for Refund Request
Complete the first page of this form, including having your signature notarized. If you elect a direct rollover, the trustee/custodian
must complete the trustee/custodian information in the Distribution Information section. The trustee/custodian official must verify
if their plan accepts or does not accept non-taxable funds. The trustee/custodian official must also sign to affirm acceptance of the
transfer.
The Employer Certification (above) should be completed by the employing agency. The refund will not be processed until the
Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA) receives the member’s final deposit along with this form and any additional requested
information.
Any person who makes a false statement or falsifies a record in an attempt to defraud the RSA shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction, be punished by a fine up to $500.00 and/or imprisonment not to exceed one year.
After this form has been completed, any address change must be submitted to the RSA in writing and be signed by the applicant.
Include your Social Security number or PID number on any correspondence.
Employee Termination Statement
I hereby certify that I have permanently terminated my employment in any agency covered by the Retirement Systems indicated
and request that the contributions and applicable interest be distributed as shown. I further certify I do not have a contract nor am I
negotiating for employment with any agency covered by the System indicated. I understand that I am not entitled to the total interest
credited to this account, but a proportion of the total interest determined by RSA service credited to this account. The refundable
funds in my account are due to me and unpaid, and I understand that payment in accordance with this form will release the RSA from
any claim for other benefits.
No portion of the refund is subject to state of Alabama income tax.
If you have any questions regarding the taxability of your refund, contact the IRS or a tax advisor.
