A TRF Hybrid Plan has two parts:
- the monthly pension benefit, and
- Defined Contribution (DC) account
Your pension benefit is paid as a lifetime monthly benefit. Your employer funds this at no cost to you, and it is an employer asset. When you apply for a retirement benefit, your employer account will fund those retirement benefits. If you leave a TRF-covered position before you qualify for a retirement benefit, you cannot withdraw the pension funds.
