Can you withdraw money from TCDRS?

Your withdrawal will be subject to a minimum 20% withholding for taxes, you may face a 10% withdrawal penalty at tax time and your withdrawal could significantly affect your income taxes. In addition, withdrawing your TCDRS account means you lose employer matching and forfeit your lifetime benefit from that account.

If you choose withdrawal, we will withhold 20% of the taxable amount of your account balance, as required by the IRS. You may owe additional taxes when you file your taxes next year. If you choose a direct rollover into an IRA or other qualified retirement plan, TCDRS will not withhold any amount for taxes.

What are My COLA Options? There are two types of COLAs available with TCDRS: Flat-rate and CPI-based. Flat-rate COLAs increase your retirees' benefit payments by a percentage of your choosing, up to an annual limit, which is 7% for 2023 COLAs. All retirees get the same percentage increase.

IRS Limits on Employee Deposits Because TCDRS is a qualified defined benefit plan, the IRS places a limit on the amount of compensation you use to calculate an employee's deposits into TCDRS. The limit for 2023 is $330,000.

A member may request a withdrawal packet by phone or via the internet. Completed forms will not be accepted before member's last day on the job. The earliest one can receive payment is the 20th day of the 4th month after the termination date as verified by their former employer(s).

TCDRS is a savings-based plan where the benefit is based on how much a member has saved over the course of their career and employer matching at retirement. Although created by the Texas Legislature, TCDRS does not receive funding from the State of Texas.
