State Pension Guides
Understanding your STRS or PERS system is the most critical component of a teacher's retirement. The rules change frequently, and your decisions can impact your lifetime payout by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- Vested Benefits: Learn how many "years of service" you need to lock in your lifetime pension.
- The Multiplier: See how retiring at age 62 vs 65 changes your "Age Factor" multiplier.
- Survivor Options: Compare Option A, B, and C to protect your spouse without losing too much cash flow.
Buying back service credit early is often 80% cheaper than waiting until your last 5 years.
Loan Forgiveness Help
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program is a goldmine for teachers, but one wrong box checked on your IDR plan can reset your 10-year clock.
- PSLF vs TLF: Understand why you usually shouldn't take the $17,500 Teacher Loan Forgiveness if you're on the PSLF path.
- IDR Recertification: How to lower your monthly payments by using your net income instead of gross.
- Employment Certification: Ensure your HR department is signing your ECF correctly so your payments count.
Consolidation can sometimes wipe your payment count. Get an expert review before consolidating.
