A processing error resulted in multiple pension payments for May to numerous New York State retirees, the State Comptroller’s Office confirmed. Retirees noticed an extra deposit in their bank accounts this month, but the office plans to correct the mistake by the end of May.
According to the Comptroller’s website, retirees will observe three transactions in their bank accounts related to their pensions: two deposits and one withdrawal. The extra payment received due to the error will be withdrawn by May 31.
The Comptroller’s Office assures that the remaining payment in retirees’ accounts will be correct and extends an apology for any inconvenience caused. They also expressed gratitude for the patience shown by the retirees as they work to resolve the issue swiftly.
