How does TRS decide if I receive a disability retirement?

The TRS Medical Board reviews all disability retirement applications. TRS will notify you by mail of the date and time of your examination with the doctors on TRS' Medical Board. The Medical Board will meet after this examination to determine whether you are eligible for a disability retirement. The Medical Board will then submit its decision to the Teachers' Retirement Board, which will adopt a resolution certifying the Medical Board's decision provided proper administrative procedures are followed. You will be notified of the Medical Board's decision by mail.
