Chapter 3: Service Credit

TRS Service Credit

Summary

This section contains information about service credit for members of the Teachers' Retirement System (TRS). The information in this section applies to members reported on the transmittal and to substitute teachers who may apply for service credit.

Rules that govern service credit are contained in state retirement law. This handbook summarizes those rules in less legalistic terms. It is not a complete description of the law. If there are any conflicts between what is written here and state retirement law, the law will govern.
