Featured Announcement: Direct Deposit Change Requests

For the protection of our Members, the Retirement Fund has adopted a new policy for changing direct deposit information. All Retired Members who wish to make a change must use the new Direct Deposit Change Form.

Please read the instructions on the form carefully. Any request that does not adhere to the requirements outlined will be rejected.

The completed form must be printed, signed, and mailed to the Retirement Fund. Forms sent via email or fax will not be accepted. Forms received by the 10th of each month will be in effect for that month’s benefit payments. Otherwise, the change will take effect the following month.

About Us

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Retirement Fund is a private trust created in 1948 by the Metropolitan Transit Authority, the predecessor agency to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (“MBTA”) and The Boston Carmen’s Union, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 589. Our mission then, as now, is to provide retirement benefits for our members – the transit workers and other employees of the MBTA. To ensure that the pensions earned by active and retired members, and their beneficiaries, remain secure, we are dedicated to managing a strong and diversified investment program.
