Instructions for Former MCPS Employees that stopped working anytime after January 1, 2000

In response to new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax code requirements, MCPS has retained a third party administrator to manage withdrawal requests from its defined contribution plans (Plan) to ensure compliance.

Withdrawal Changes

The IRS will no longer permit former MCPS employees to "self certify" eligibility for withdrawals.

Former Employees Wishing to Rollover Their Account to an IRA or Take a Withdrawal Based on Separation of Service

Former employees wishing to withdrawal money must obtain a Distribution Eligibility Certificate confirming your separation from MCPS.

Access Your Account Balances and Request Distribution Eligibility Certificate

The first time an former employee accesses the site, he or she will use the "I am a New User" link to establish a password using the following information: choose Montgomery County Public Schools as your employer from the drop down list, the last four (4) digits of your social security number, last name, date of birth and MCPS employee identification number. Once logged in you may review your account balances under the Your Retirement tab or request a Distribution Eligibility Certificate from the Distribution tab.

You may request your MCPS employee number by calling 301-517-8100.
