2019 Request to Dispose Calculations for (AC, AV, CE, LA, PM, US +) N
For requests in 2019, determine the earliest month/year from which records may be disposed based on the year the record was created or became inactive and the number of years (N) records are required to be retained.
In the table below, find the month of your request in the first column and then find the corresponding retention years in the top row to determine the latest month/year from which records can be disposed. If your records require longer retention than 15 years, subtract the number of years of retention from the current year to determine the latest year from which records may be disposed, and then choose the month preceding the month of your request.
The month of the request | Required Retention Years | 0 | + 1 | + 2 | + 3 | + 4 | + 5 | + 6 | + 7 | + 8 | + 9 | + 10 | + 11 | + 12 | + 13 | + 14 | + 15 |
