Teacher Retirement Message
As is common this time of the year, we (TRS) are receiving a volume of telephone calls concerning the member's annual statement of account.  TRS is not able to return all calls the same day received. 
 
Annual statements are a snapshot of the member's account at the time of TRS year-end close; therefore, a corrected annual statement can never be created.
 
At the time of retirement, salaries will be properly moved to the correct year; therefore, the member's retirement estimate will be correct.

  If a member insists their account be corrected, they may request a correction in writing. 
 
Even if the account is corrected, the member WILL NOT RECEIVE A CORRECTED ANNUAL STATEMENT.
