Your TRSNYC pension payment option is one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make — and once submitted, it cannot be changed. Many NYC educators wait until their final year of service to review their options, but the most impactful planning opportunities happen years earlier.

Join us for a free, one‑hour TRSNYC Retirement Seminar designed for New York City teachers and school professionals who want to understand their pension choices, avoid irreversible mistakes, and build a confident retirement plan. This July session is ideal for educators across all five NYC boroughs, Long Island, Westchester County, and the Hudson Valley.

What You’ll Learn

• Pension Payment Options — How each TRSNYC option affects income and survivor benefits

• Tier‑Specific Rules — Key milestones and age thresholds for Tier 4 and Tier 6

• TDA / Roth TDA Coordination — Aligning supplemental savings with your pension

• Avoiding High‑Impact Mistakes — Decisions that permanently reduce retirement income

• Long‑Term Planning Layers — Survivor needs, long‑term care, and estate considerations
