Time is running out for members who wish to establish optional credit for up to two years of service as a teacher or administrator employed by a private school recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education. The opportunity to verify private school teaching ends on August 1, 2012. Contact TRS at members@trs.illinois.gov or call (800) 877-7896 to request the required form. TRS must receive your written request to verify this service on or before August 1, 2012. Making a request does not obligate you to purchase the credit.
A member may establish optional credit for up to two years of service as a teacher or administrator employed by a private school recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education, provided that the teacher:
• was certified under the law governing the certification of teachers at the time the service was rendered,
• applies in writing on or after August 1, 2009 and on or before August 1, 2012,
• supplies satisfactory evidence of the employment,
• completes at least 10 years of contributing TRS service, and
• pays the contribution required.
The member may apply for credit and pay the required contribution before completing the 10 years of contributing service required, but the credit may not be used until he/she has accrued the 10 years of service.
