Connecticut Teachers' Retirement Board

Annual Statements have been sent for all active teachers as of January 14th. Annual Statements do not reflect service purchases completed AFTER June 2025. If you need to request a duplicate copy of your Annual Statement prior to February 2nd please contact your employing district. Inactive and State employed TRB members will receive their statements in February. The Annual Statement Center can be used to alert TRB of possible errors on your statement. Duplicate statements for the 2024-25 year will be added to the Annual Statement Center on February 2nd 2026.

Part-Time Service

Part-time service means a reduced work schedule performed either on a voluntary or involuntary basis for at least an average of a half-time schedule during each school month. Part-time service does not mean service rendered for less than a full school year during which the member began service after the commencement of the school year or terminated service prior to the conclusion of the school year.

If you are a member employed at part-time (minimum 50%), you will receive a month of credit for each month worked. Your monthly pension benefit will be calculated to reflect your full-time equivalency (FTE). Your retirement benefit percentage will be proportionate to the amount of time you worked part-time and the average salary used in the calculation will be computed as if you were in full-time service.

Service performed on a part-time basis (at least half-time) prior to July 1, 1977 is treated as full-time service for purposes of determining your eligibility to receive benefits and for computing your actual benefits.

Part-time Connecticut Teaching Service Calculation Example:

Member eligible for Normal Retirement, retiring at age 59 with a total of 35 years of service of which five are part-time:

                           30 years at 100% X 2%    = 60%
                               3 years X 75% X 2%    =   4.5%
                               2 years X 50% X 2%    =   2%
                            35 years                          66.5%

This member will receive 66.5% of average salary.

Member eligible for Early Retirement, retiring at age 55 with a total of 30 years of service of which ten are part-time.  The benefit calculation will be based on 5 years early using Chart B on the Early Retirement page:

                           20 years at 100% X 1.7%   =  34%
                           10 years X  75% X 1.7%     = 12.75%
                           30 years                             46.75%
                          

This member will receive 46.75% of average salary.
