You are vested after five years of service with a right to a retirement benefit. There are also disability and death and survivor benefits available to TRS members. See the TRS website for more information on this valuable benefit.

As a TRS member, if you permanently terminate employment with your TRS-covered employer(s) and have neither applied for nor received a promise of employment with a TRS-covered employer, you may terminate membership in TRS and withdraw all of the accumulated contributions (plus interest) in your member account.

No, you are not allowed to borrow money out of your Teachers' Retirement Account.

Benefits will depend heavily on what your state allows. ing to the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), if you leave before meeting your plan's “vesting” requirements (see next question below), you'll typically get back only your pension contribution and a small amount of interest in most states.

Early Age Retirement A member may receive a reduced annuity at: age 55 with five or more years of service credit and the total age and service is less than 80, or by having at least 30 years of service credit and the total age and service is less than 80.

A 10 percent additional income tax on early distributions may be required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) if you are under age 59½. If you elect to roll over the entire amount of your refund to a traditional IRA or an eligible employer plan, you will not pay tax at the time of the refund.

Once you have terminated all employment, you may then withdraw your accumulated contributions and interest in your member account. Once you have terminated your employment if you want a refund of your TRS contributions you must complete a form TRS 6 “Application for Refund.”
