Dec. 28, 2001 – Because of a problem with Government Employees Retirement System payroll deductions, retirees must make their own payments to various agencies and businesses for this pay period, Laurence E. Bryan, GERS administrator, said in a press release distributed Friday.
A technical problem is to blame and it involves only checks dated Dec. 28, Bryan said.
Retirees must make their own payments to GERS for auto, land and personal loans; to the Personnel Division, V.I. Housing Authority or Water and Power Authority for health and life insurance premiums; to Commoloco and Island Finance for respective loans; and to the appropriate entity for child support.
The press release stated that anyone with questions should call GERS at 776-7703, ext. 4202, 4919 or 4212.
