Posted on January 4, 2024
The retirement plan you choose is permanent. There is an exception for active customers who joined Plan 2 before a certain date. Each January, eligible members of Plan 2 can choose to make a permanent transfer to Plan 3.
TRS Plan 2 Transfer to Plan 3
- TRS Plan 2 members who began service before July 1, 2007

If this applies to you, and you would like to transfer from Plan 2 to Plan 3, complete a Member Transfer form and submit it to your employer by Jan. 31. DRS will transfer your Plan 2 contributions, and any interest earned, to a Plan 3 investment account.
