Beneficiary Changes
How do I change my beneficiary with TRS?
Active members should obtain a TRS-1A Personal Data Form from your school's personnel or business office. It is very important to keep your beneficiary designation up to date. The Personal Data form provides for up to three primary beneficiaries and up to three contingent beneficiaries. It is not necessary to name six individual beneficiaries but you should name at least one primary and one contingent beneficiary. Your estate or a trust fund can be named as the beneficiary to your account. TRS requests you provide a copy of your trust if named as a beneficiary. Retired and inactive members should contact TRS for a Personal Data Form.
