All withdrawals are paid through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) directly into your bank account. TRS will issue payment via paper checks only for members residing abroad whose bank will not accept ACH/EFT deposits.

For in-service members paid on the Department of Education payroll, their bank information is already on file; no action is required. You may provide or update bank account information in the secure section of TRS’ website, under Payments. Please note that establishing or changing an EFT account generally takes at least 21 days.

You will not be allowed to submit a withdrawal request unless TRS has your bank account information on file.
