***** Subject: NJ Division of Pensions withholding error*****
Good morning,
You may receive phone calls from retirees regarding the February 1st pension checks from the NJ Division of Pensions. There were mistakes in the withholdings for Federal taxes that resulted in an increase in the check amount due to under-withholding.
This is what is posted on the NJ Division of Pensions website:
1.28.20 Changes to the federal tax withholding tables for 2020 resulted in incorrect tax rates being applied to pension checks dated February 1, 2020, and reduced federal tax withholding from the February pension payment. Withholding rates will be corrected, and increased federal tax withholding will be seen beginning with the pension check dated March 1, 2020.
If you have any questions, please contact the NJ Division of Pensions and Benefits at 609-292-7524.
Thank you. Judy Perkins

TRICKY TRAY DONATIONS NEEDED
Perhaps you received a gift for the holidays or your birthday that you really cannot use. Perhaps you were cleaning out a closet and found an item that you purchased, never used, and now cannot remember why you bought it in the first place. Perhaps someone gave you a gift card to a restaurant that you know you will never visit. Maybe you have a basket or two that you no longer need.
Not to worry. The MCREAP Tricky Tray Committee would be happy to take these items off your hands. You can bring the item(s) to the March luncheon or, if you prefer, we can arrange to come to your home to pick up the item(s). As I am sure you know all the profits from the MCREAP Tricky Tray on April 24th at Zeris Inn will go towards the scholarships that will be presented at the June luncheon.
Just give me a call or text me (973-818-1353). If I do not answer, please leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please consider joining us on April 24th. Reservation forms are in the newsletter and on our website. We have some new and exciting things planned for you. See photos of our preparations in "Photo Gallery".
Thank you, in advance, for your help. - Cheryl Doltz
