How do I pay my membership service deficit or purchase my optional service credit?

Your Cost Letter and accompanying election form will indicate the payment options available to you. In general, if you are currently in active service receiving regular salary payments, you can make your payment or purchase through payroll deductions. Alternatively, you can make an online payment in the secure section of our website at www.trsnyc.org.

For optional service credit purchases, you may be offered additional payment options, such as a transfer of funds from an external NYS- or NYC-sponsored 403(b) or 457 plan, or from your TRS Tax-Deferred Annuity Program (TDA) account.
