Heads up - Know who to trust. Did you get an unsolicited email from “stateretirement.org” offering a complimentary one on one re tirement review as an employee of TRS? As we remind our members often, be wary of organizations offering TRS retirement planning services that are not provided or endorsed by TRS.
TRS counselors do not reach out to schedule appointments. To report these messages, forward to Barbie Pearson, Adam Fambrough or Jennifer Gasior in Pension Services as they have a process they follow to help prevent and manage this. And remember, there are dedicated employee retirement resources for you on our intranet and two TRS experts ready to help you!
