TRSL & Social Security Webinar
Are you eligible for Social Security benefits? If so, you'll want to attend this webinar. We'll go over the basics of your TRSL benefit. PLUS, a representative from the Social Security Administration will discuss two federal laws that may offset your Social Security benefit — Government Pension Offset (GPO) and Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP).
You'll get answers to these questions (and more):
• What are Social Security offsets?
• What should I ask the Social Security Administration?
• How do I contact the Social Security Administration?
• How is my TRSL benefit calculated?
• When am I eligible to get my TRSL benefit?
• How do I apply for retirement/DROP?
