If a TRS member participated in TRS’ Tax-Deferred Annuity (TDA) Program, the member's designated TDA beneficiaries may be eligible to receive the balance of the member's TDA account.  For members who were receiving monthly annuity payments from the TDA Program, a different TDA death benefit is payable. For more information, please see the Guide to Death Benefits for Beneficiaries of Retired Members or the Guide to Death Benefits for Beneficiaries of Non-Retired Members .
