What happens to my TDA and Roth accounts if I resign or leave service before retirement?
If you leave service after attaining vested rights under the QPP, you may withdraw your TDA Program funds or you may elect TDA Deferral status. If you leave service before attaining vested rights under the QPP, you may withdraw your TDA Program funds at any time. If you leave your funds with TRS, they would continue to accrue investment return for seven school years. However, if you withdraw your QPP funds, your TDA Program participation would automatically end, and TRS would distribute the value of your TDA or Roth account to you.
