LIFE CHANGES
Key life events, which may occur during your career and in retirement, could have an impact on your benefits. Explore this section to learn how to update your contact information, report a death, and how your benefit could be impacted in the event of a divorce.
Change Your Address & Contact Information
It is critical to keep your contact and beneficiary information up to date so LASERS can send important documents and information to you in a timely manner.
Report a Death
Please accept our condolences for your loss. View this section to view the steps to report the death of a LASERS member, retiree, or beneficiary as soon as possible.
Community Property & Divorce
Louisiana is one of nine community property states. Louisiana law and jurisprudence both conclude that a state pension benefit, including DROP and IBO funds received or accumulated during marriage, are indeed community property. It is important for LASERS members to be aware of how their benefit may be impacted in the event of divorce.
Power of Attorney
For many, having a valid POA provides peace of mind in knowing that if you are unable to make decisions for yourself, someone you know and trust will be able to make those decisions on your behalf. Learn more about why a power of attorney may be right for you
