In most instances, administrators are the intermediary between TRS and its members. Employers provide TRS with information used to determine a member’s current service credit, creditable earnings and retirement contributions. Errors in reporting can lead to investigations, corrections, fines/penalties and added costs for the employer. For those reasons, accurate reporting and payment practices are critical to both members and employers. Familiarity with these regulations is a tool, especially when employee investigations and misconduct create issues for a school district.
