After a five-year vesting period, an employee becomes eligible to receive a monthly benefit at retirement once the age requirement is met. The benefit is calculated by the employee's years of service and salary. The benefit provided by TCRS is a solid foundation for building a retirement future.

TCRS provides a lifetime monthly benefit as determined by a formula specified in state law. The formula for computing a monthly retirement benefit consists of a member's Average Final Compensation (AFC), years of creditable service, and the benefit accrual factor, which are described below.

Full-time state employees are automatically a member of the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS). However, you must accrue five years of creditable state service before you are vested (guaranteed retirement benefits when age requirements are met).

Service and salary earned with any employer in TCRS will count toward your eligibility for retirement and benefit calculation. TCRS is a well-managed, secure pension plan with plan assets over $43 billion. Your total retirement benefit will be based on TCRS benefits and your defined contribution plan investments.

Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) TCRS is your defined benefit plan—providing lifetime retirement, survivor and disability benefits for employees and their beneficiaries. Your Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) is recognized as one of the top 5 strongest pension funds in the United States.

Hybrid Plan members are immediately vested in the 401(k). Unlike the TCRS defined benefit plan, the amount available at retirement in a 401(k) account is the accumulated account balance that includes employer and member contributions and investment earnings.
