Free TRSNYC retirement seminar on Zoom, Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. ET, presented by Peter Knapp, CLU®.

Choosing between the Maximum and an Option is one of the biggest decisions a TRSNYC member makes, and both your option and your beneficiary are irrevocable once elected. Peter walks through a worked example showing what each payment option pays you, what it pays your beneficiary, and what it costs you each year.

You'll get answers to questions like:

• What's the difference between the Maximum, Options 1 and 2, and the Pop-Up options (5-1 and 5-2)?
• What happens to my pension if my beneficiary passes away first?
• Does my spouse have to agree if I choose the Maximum?
• How does a personal insurance policy compare with a pension option?
• How do Tier III, IV, and VI rules affect my pension?

Designed for TRSNYC members across NYC, Long Island, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley who are planning to retire in the next 1 to 15 years. Attendees can request a complimentary personal retirement consultation. Space is limited. Register to receive your Zoom link.
