I understand that it is my responsibility to update my address if it changes during the processing of this refund.
I acknowledge that failure to report my address change will result in delays. The United States Postal Service
does not forward checks from TCRS. Digital signatures are not accepted.
I hereby make application for the return of my contributions made to the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement
System (TCRS) together with the interest credited thereon. I hereby waive for myself, my heirs and my beneciary
all my rights, title and interest in all funds under the care and control of the retirement system. This includes
eligibility to participate in the State Insurance Plan. I understand that this election is irrevocable.
I am aware that if I DO NOT withdraw my contributions, and not having acquired vesting rights, I will retain my
status as a member of the retirement system for seven years, and should I be reemployed within that period,
I will retain my status as a member of the retirement system, or having attained vesting rights, I may remain a
member and elect to receive a monthly retirement benet at retirement age. I understand that if I DO withdraw
my contributions, my membership in the retirement system is terminated and, if I am subsequently employed in
a position requiring membership, I must enter the retirement system with the status of a new member.
