In general, your deductions would take effect with the first payroll that occurs at least 60 days after TRS receives your elections through the TDA feature in the secure section of our website, or paper form: the TDA Enrollment Form (code TD1) for new participants, and the TDA Contribution Rate Change Form (code TD4) for current TDA participants.

TDA participants may also change their contribution rates through the online TDA feature or by filing a paper TDA Contribution Rate Change Form. Any contribution rate change you make would take effect with the first payroll that occurs at least 60 days after TRS receives your form or online request. However, if you change your contribution rate during the fall enrollment period, your election would generally take effect with the first payroll of the following year.
