ELECTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL and/or VOLUNTARY ACCOUNTS
Members who were employed prior to June 1989 may have a 1% Supplemental account. Those members who
paid additional monies into the system have a Voluntary Account. Your choices for distribution are:
Refund/Rollover. Funds may be refunded directly to you, in which case, any pre-tax contributions and interest
will become taxable. Alternatively, pre-tax contributions and interest may be rolled over into another “qualified
plan”, such as an IRA. The paperwork for the refund/rollover option will be mailed to you after the effective
date of your disability allowance. Failure to return the paperwork for the refund/rollover option on a timely
basis will result in your funds being refunded directly to you which may result in federal or state tax liabilities
and related penalties.
Extra Annuity. In lieu of receiving your 1% Supplemental and/or Voluntary account in a lump sum, you may
elect to increase your monthly payment with an additional fixed annuity based on your account balance and
age annuity rates in effect at the time of your disability effective date. These fixed payments are excluded
from cost of living increases. Funds to be used for the purchase of an extra annuity must be received by the
Teachers’ Retirement Board no later than the effective date of your disability allowance.
