Each employer chooses a vesting level of 5, 8 or 10 years of service time. The benefits of vesting with TCDRS differ from vesting in a 401(k) account. When an employee is vested in a 401(k), it usually means they get employer matching when they withdraw that account. That's not the case with your TCDRS plan.
TRS and ERS The Teacher Retirement System (TRS) and ERS are Texas' largest public retirement systems, serving about 1.5 million and 360,000 members, respectively. (It should be noted that ERS members also may choose to participate in a supplemental 401(k)/457 program to increase their retirement benefits.)
The benefits offered by TRSs include traditional defined-benefit pensions along with defined-contribution plans, including 403(b) plans, which resemble 401(k)s. The specific benefits of TRS plans vary widely by state and even by the school district.
The size of the benefit is typically based on salary and years of service. Some of these retiree benefits are protected from the loss of purchasing power over retire- ment years by automatic increases specified in the pension plan, discretionary adjustments (ad hoc), or both.
TCDRS is a savings-based plan where the benefit is based on how much a member has saved over the course of their career and employer matching at retirement. Although created by the Texas Legislature, TCDRS does not receive funding from the State of Texas.
This often requires the claiming party to give a particular notice, sometimes followed by a further notice and/or more detailed information, to the other party and/or contract administrator, which may have to be in a particular format and meet specific requirements as to content.
