How do I submit a FOIL request to TRS?
The New York State Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) provides a means for the public to access records maintained by the government.
Some records are exempt from FOIL, including those that:
- Are an invasion of a member's personal privacy
- Are trade secrets that would, if disclosed, harm a company's competitive advantage
- Would keep a government agency from performing its duties
- Are not maintained by the agency because there is no business reason to do so
When submitting a FOIL request, please clearly and specifically describe the records you are seeking, including relevant dates, names, and descriptions. TRS may charge a fee for records provided, as set forth in the law.
Email a FOIL request to TRS at RecordsAccessOfficer@trs.nyc.ny.us, and begin the subject line with “FOIL Request.”
Mail a FOIL request to TRS, Attn: Records Access Officer, 55 Water Street, New York, NY 10041.
