Ready to retire?

Please be prepared to spend some time reviewing the information that follows. This is your retirement—it is important that you understand both how your benefits are calculated and the retirement application process. Your MTRS benefits will most likely be one of your most valuable assets in retirement, and your decisions will affect the rest of your life.

The retirement application process requires that you take these two major steps:

  • Understand the retirement formula and process.
  • Complete and submit your Retirement Application.

However, before you begin the retirement process, you need to estimate the amount of your retirement allowance under the three available options and determine that what you may receive is appropriate for your personal and financial situation.

If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing you through the process and serving you in retirement!
