How do I access my 1099-R through the portal?
To access your 1099-R, you must have an account with the Online Benefits Portal. If you are already registered with the portal, you can use your current username and password credentials; there will be an additional menu tab for your 1099-R once you log in.
If you were previously registered to receive your 1099-R electronically but do not have an Online Benefits Portal account, you will need to click LOG IN and use the email address you previously used to access your 1099-R. Your password will be your Social Security Number; you will be immediately prompted to change this password.
If you have never before received your 1099-R electronically and do not have an Online Benefits Portal account, you will need to register as a NEW USER. You will need to provide your Social Security Number, last name, and zip or postal code to validate your identity. Then you will need to create a username/password combination you will use to log in.
Once you are logged in to the Online Benefits Portal, there will be a tab present that will let you access your 1099-R for download and print. You will have access to the current year’s 1099-R and those for up to six years prior.
