Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) - LEGACY (Staff hired prior to July 2014):
The Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS) is a defined benefit pension plan that covers state employees, higher education employees, K-12 public school teachers, and employees of political subdivisions who have elected to participate in the plan. This means that the amount of any future retirement benefits is determined by a benefit formula rather than an account balance. All full-time teachers are covered by Group I of the retirement system as a condition of employment. As a teacher, you are required to contribute five percent of your salary to the retirement system. Contributions are made on a tax-deferred basis.
TCRS is a “defined benefit” retirement plan, which means that the amount of any future benefit will be determined by a benefit formula rather than by an account balance. In most cases, the amount of the benefit will be affected by three factors: your length of service, your final average salary, and the social security integration level in the year you retire or die.
