The first step to retirement is to send a Letter of Intent to retire to the President
of the University and a copy to the Human Resources Office. The next step is to fill
out an application for Service Retirement. It is each member’s responsibility to see
that the Application for Service Retirement (Form 11) and other related documents reach the TRSL office. A member may submit an application as early as six months before the desired effective
date or retirement. Processing of the application and computation of benefits cannot
begin until agency certification, PIP certification, if applicable, sick leave certification(s),
and annual leave certification(s), if applicable, are received from all employers.
This information cannot be submitted by a member’s most recent employer until after
the member’s last day of work. Members should use the following checklist as a guide in gathering the documents
necessary for TRSL to process their retirement applications:
If the documentation submitted is not sufficient, other records may be requested.
