Instructions for Former Employees That Stopped Working for MCPS
Prior to January 1, 2000

The IRS no longer permits former MCPS employees to "self-certify" eligibility for withdrawals based on retirement or resignation from MCPS. Former employees wishing to access their account for an IRA rollover or other distributions are to have MCPS verify your separation of service date.

Contact your 403(b) vendor to request distribution paperwork based on seperation of service. Complete all vendor required distribution paperwork and submit the documents to MCPS, Attn: ERSC, DC Plan Administrator, 7361 Calhoun Place, Suite 190, Rockville, MD 20855. The paperwork, if in good order (all pages of the document included, all information completed and signed by account holder), will be signed and returned to you, via regular U.S. Postal Service mail for submission to your vendor. Please permit five business days for these requests to be processed from the time of receipt.
