NYSLRS sends a Credits and Deductions Confirmations file to you after we have processed our monthly pension payroll. This outbound file includes deductions that were debited by NYSLRS. Actual funds will be sent to you separately.
This is a pipe-delimited Text file (*.txt) and has the following naming convention:
NYSLRS_<VENDOR ID>_CRDEDCONFIRM_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.txt
The first row of the Credit and Deductions Confirmations File contains your first confirmed transaction. There are no headers or footers.
