What happens if I am a Tier I or II member and I have an outstanding loan balance when I resign or am terminated?
In general, when you leave service, you may repay your outstanding loan balance in a lump sum within 30 days of TRS' notification. If you do not pay the balance within that timeframe: your outstanding QPP loan amount would generally be reduced from your QPP fund balances; and your outstanding TDA loan balance would be considered a taxable distribution and would be reported to the IRS. However, if you have vested rights when you leave service, you may maintain an outstanding TDA loan balance by filing a TDA Deferral Status Election Form (for vested members) (code TD31).
