Employer Report Supports Employee Retirement

Want to help your employees apply for their TCDRS benefits? We have a report for that.

In our ongoing efforts to partner with our employers to help support members in their retirement journeys, we have created the “Request for Last Date of Employment” report, which includes employees who have applied for a withdrawal or retirement.

This report is dynamic — meaning it will be updated in real-time each time you access the report. 

This report lets you help your former employees take the next step in their TCDRS member journey. Please check this new report often and enter the last date of employment for your employees as soon as possible. We cannot complete withdrawals or retirements without your certification. 

TCDRS will send those with Benefit and Security Administrator roles an email each week to request any last dates of employment if there are any pending withdrawals or retirements. (You will need to sign into your employer portal to access the report. It will no longer be attached to the email.)  

If you receive this email, please review it by signing in as an employer at TCDRS.org and view the Request for Last Date of Employment report in the Reports section. Then, select “Employee Terminations” from the left menu and enter the last date of employment for each listed employee with a benefit request in progress. You can also upload a file that contains dates for multiple employees. If you choose to upload a file, the file must be in a CSV format.

Even if you do not currently have employees requesting benefits, please review this report periodically and enter last dates of employment for non-depositing employees. This helps keep your rate and your employees’ benefit estimates as accurate as possible. 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I need to adjust the last date of employment?
If you need to change the last date of employment you entered, you can simply enter the new date to override the previous one. If you need to remove a date or update a date for an employee with a closed account, please call TCDRS Member Services at 800-823-7782. 

What happens if I have additional employee deposits?
After you enter an employee’s last date of employment, they may still have additional money coming in (even if they left employment). You don’t have to do anything special to add that money to the employee’s account. Just include the deposit amount in your regular payroll report, and we will credit the employee’s account.

What if an employee requesting benefits hasn’t left employment yet?

If a current employee has a benefit request in progress but has not left employment, please contact TCDRS Member Services at 800-823-7782 so that we can cancel the application. The employee must have left employment and you must provide a last date of employment before they can complete their benefit request.
