In late June, I wrote about receiving my official retirement notification letter from TRS. That letter merely set into motion a series of steps that had to be completed before I would be through the new retiree process. I’m happy to report the final step of awarding service credit for unused sick leave is currently in process and the additional 1/2 year of service credit will be added to my benefit calculations retroactively to August 1st. This means is will have taken five plus months from the date of that letter to get everything resolved.
It’s been a journey. Last week, a health plan drop notice caused momentary panic. Turns out it was a mere formality needed to stop billing notices when premiums started being deducted from my monthly pension check. All is well. Health insurance premiums are being deducted as they are supposed to and we’ve received all the open enrollment information for our 2025 plan choices.
Now, if all the damned political ads would disappear! I cannot wait for this silly season to be behind us.
done.
