May I change the elections I make on my retirement application?

Yes. However, in general, TRS must receive any changes no later than one day before the effective payability date of your retirement allowance. If you filed a disability retirement application, TRS must generally receive any changes within 30 days after the date on which the Medical Board recommends your disability retirement. However, the Applicant's Personal Report and the Report of Applicant's Physician may not be amended after they are filed.

In addition, members who filed for retirement after October 31, 2003 or left service under a disability retirement after October 31, 2003 may change their retirement allowance payment options up to 30 calendar days after their payability date. Disability retirees of all tiers may now change their retirement payment options up to 30 days after their disability application is approved or 30 days from the date they retired as a result of the disability, whichever is later. Please note that for all eligible members, the 30-day allowance includes weekends.
