Retiring Soon?
Please note that TRS has updated the Retirement Application Packet Part I as of January 1, 2022. Members must submit the application to TRS at least 30 and no more than 90 days prior to the date of retirement. TRS will request certification from the employer through the Employer Self Service portal. Upon receipt of that certification, TRS will calculate the member’s benefits and then send Retirement Application Packet Part II to the member so the member can select their retirement option and set up their federal tax withholding. Part II must be returned to TRS prior to the date of retirement.
