I recently became a teacher, and through research I found out that I'm going to be placed in tier V which makes a big difference in terms of contributions and years of contribution from tier 4 and below. Should I just do my own personal investment or would the retirement system still be better? I live in New York. The Tier 5 requires us to pay 4.85% contribution for our entire career as oppose to 3% for the first 10 years in Tier 4. Looking at that, I don't think it would be worth it. yea it

A friend told me you will loose your ss benefits if you have not worked in over 7 years and have not acumulated enough points to receive benefits if you needed it. Meaning: I would need to work a few more years to even get any benefits even though I have paid into it. I paid into teacher retirement system after that so it looks like I have not worked in almost 7 years. Will I loose what I have put into SS?

Starting a new job at a school and need to decide between the Public Employment Retirement System (PERS) or State of NJ Teachers' Pension & Anunuity Fund. All this drama with our governer and changed NJ laws is making it difficult to choose. Anyone have ideas which plan is better for the long run? Thanks!

The status quo is not sustainable. We've heard that often enough. So what? Some "brainstorming", "outofthebox" thinking may be in order to meet a dramatically different future, than what we have enjoyed in the past. What do you think of these ideas? And I welcome yours (before I wave my magic wand) 1. All efforts, appropriate, to eliminate illegal immigrants from our jobs, our schools, emergency rooms, courts and jails. Secure the Southern border. 2. Women who have chosen to be Mothers

I am a teacher in Texas and have a TRS (Teacher Retirement System) account. Should I also open a separate retirement account, or this one is good enough. I really don't understand this TRS account.

I LOATHE where I live. It's a little town a few miles away from Phoenix, AZ. It's pretty much the a** end of the Valley of the Sun. It has 65% retired people, 20% normal adults and 15% kids. The problem is there is no industry, excitement, or flat out ANYTHING out here. The school system is substandard, and to make it worse the district failed to pass its budget override, so the system lost several million dollars. The high school is overcrowded, is the only one in the town, and is expec

In a time where unions have proven themselves to be self fulfilling, it is time to eliminate them within education. Why you may ask? Simply put education cannot achieve parody with the rest of the market. They pay outrageous amount to labor costs, which by the way, is set by prevailing wage. The education unions make it impossible to get competitive pricing and have held districts hostage all in the name of “it not good for the kids”. As a district employee, specifically an administrator for

Hey I have a few questions on officiating weddings. Particularly if in the LDS faith you are required to be a Bishop or higher in order to officiate, or if the tier of "Elder" or "Teacher" is sufficient. Also I live in Idaho and the statute on officiating reads as follows: "32-303. BY WHOM SOLEMNIZED. Marriage may be solemnized by either a current or retired justice of the supreme court, a current or retired court of appeals judge, a current or retired district judge, any federal judge, the

Ok, so I'm new to this all and just want to know what it is. I'm currently 30years old and I'm a high school counselor. Our system in California doesn't contribute to social security, but instead we have our own teacher/counselor retirement system. On top of this, I have a 457b retirement account which I currently have about $15,000 saved. I opened it in March of 2008 mainely for the tax savings. Currently, I'm looking on the best way to continue to save on taxes and wanted to know the benefit

I ignorantly joined the NYC Department of Education Retirement System about 2 years ago. Since I did not work as a sub for more than one year (found another job), I was terminated from the DOE at the start of the 2009-2010 school year (the current school year). While searching though the BERS booklet of rules, I found the following information on page 88 quoted below. I would like someone to explain the quoted paragraph below. I have not contributed to BERS for the simple fact that I

My Economics teacher cited an example. I forget the woman's name, but he claimed that the she paid in $24.50 and ended up living for many years after her retirement and collected nearly $20,000. This is right when the program became, of course. Including the inflation of the dollar, the increased living costs, and people who pay in and die and won't collect, did she get more than the system could account for? If not, who paid for it?

My mother is a retired (NYS) teacher, and she also has medicare. What one does not pick up the other does. This is the scenario for millions of people. Why are those who already have insurance upon retirement allowed into the medicare system?

am a Secondary High school teacher from the State of California with retirement benefits provided by CalSTRS based on a certificated salary schedule with years of district experience and professional growth. If I decide to change and take a teaching position in a Community College or a University (UC or Cal State in California) or a job in education in a government agency like USAID for example, will I get a full transfer of my retirement benefits within their own retirement system or not?

I already have my BS degree and am thinking of either going back to school for an accelerated BS in nursing (15 months) or a masters degree teacher's certifacation program in grades K-8 (it is 9 months of student teaching and then 15 credits after that to get your masters...). I am confused what I could teach in grades 6-8 without a specific subject, but that's what the program says... I don't have enough credits in one subject (without taking more undergrad classes) to teach a specific subje

My husband is a teacher and has just become fully vested in his retirement program. We are considering moving in a year or two out of state where he will get another teaching job. Therefore he will be in a different pension system. When he retires he will be fully vested in two different states Teacher's pension system. How does that work? Can he collect from both? Do we have to submit taxes in both states?

besides retirement system..is there another loan i can take out?

Extravagant retirement benefits, teachers paid to do nothing, employees pumping up their pensions with overtime... it is bankrupting states. Unions ruined our auto industry. Now, they are destroying our school systems and making it impossible to balance government budgets. Sure, these people are important and deserve a REASONABLE retirement plan. But reasonable is not what they have. They get much more than anyone else. They always trot out the police and fire as examples of why they deserve r

I am in my early 30s and I am considering going to graduate school to teach secondary education. I think I would really enjoy being a history teacher. I like working with the middle and high school age group and I am passionate about history. One of the biggest things holding me back is the fear of not being able to plan for retirement. I don't expect to retire "early" or to be wealthy but I would rather not spend my later years in poverty or be working till I drop dead either. I am 33 and i

Please help me answer these questions: 1) Should Social Security be privatized? Would you support a partial privatization? How would you go about investing your private share for your retirement? What is the drawback of letting individuals bear all the risk in their retirement? Is this a safe plan for the future of Social Security? 2) We often say that education is the key to improving ones chances in life, but is our educational system really equal? Compare, for example, schools in diffe

I am a high school teacher currently in the state of Michigan (in my 6th year of teaching). My husband and I are moving to Texas. Will they accept my years of service from Michigan towards my retirement of will I have to start all over and do a total of 30 years in Texas to collect pension??? Any specific details you can provide about Texas teacher retirement system? I've dwindled around on the website a bit but haven't really found what I'm looking for,

Will I be better off or worse off by switching to the teacher retirement system? How many years will it take to become vested?

This is where i stand on issues. 1) To be the Candidate of National security: a) Victory in Iraq b) Fully support NSA, Patriot act, tough interrogations, keeping Gitmo open c) A Candidate that pledges to NOT demean our military while they are fighting for their Country. eg Harry Reid: "the surge has failed", "the war is lost" d) Candidate that promises to ensure that our veterans can live out their lives in dignity. 2) The Candidate who pledges to oppose Appeasement: a) The Candidate wil

As we all know there is no for cancer but that's what the government wants you to think. The government is hiding the cure for cancer because of the life-span of a average human being. Lets say a 35-year old has breast cancer and she will die in a few months; if we give her a cure for cancer she might live till age 60+. Also if the population doesn't decrease it might mess up the whole system of jobs and of employment etc. And i think that the cost of the cure of cancer will cost a lot but I t

My question is can I claim this on my tax return at all or do I have transfer/roll it to a traditional IRA?

I am a retired teacher in Texas. My main source of income is my TRS monthly annuity. How will the current economic crisis affect TRS?

i know a little bit about it.... isn't it when teachers work for a certain about of time and deposit money into their retirement system every few years and once they pay it all off the get to retire? i'm doing an essay about careers and i don't really know how to explain it without making it so long... here's the first part of my essay: Over the past years that I teach I would also get a retirement system.

What do you mean by, """If you work five years or ten years, according to state requirements, then you can retire at age ~65. So you have been a member of the retirement system many years. "" Does it mean if you worked 5 or 10 years you can receive a pension but you put be of age to do so??? Do I really have to wait that long "Until 65" to receive Pension Monthly income.

My parents own two homes and I will eventually be sharing the equity of these with my sister and her daughter. One home is in the Hamptons, NY. This home is pretty valuable. I have been renting since 1993. I started out at $775 a month and now pay $1025 a month. I live in a restored historical building. The landlord's kids went through the school system I teach in, and so they have held the rent down. I have a washer/dryer, and the landlords fix broken things within one day. The money

I am currently a fifth-year computer teacher chomping-at-the-bit to get the heck out of this pathetic dead-end job!!! I want to do something with computers in a corporate setting and have benefits and a retirement plan. Things I dislike most about my current job: --low pay and not much "moving up." I started five years ago taking home $1800/month. Now I take home $2200/month (and I have a MASTER'S degree!! - doesn't seem to matter in the teaching world) --repetition; I say the same thing

lack the capacity to care about their job? I am sorry but I feel many public school teachers are in the job for the retirement and other benefits of a state employee. As a former student that went through the public school system, many teachers I noticed seemed to be very snobby and got all mad when students raised their hands to ask questions. No wonder so many students in my local area drop out of high school. No positive people to encourage them and thats really sad.

Michelle Rhee, the hard-charging chancellor of the Washington public schools, thinks teacher tenure may be great for adults, those who go into teaching to get summer vacations and great health insurance, for instance. But it hurtschildren, she says, by making incompetent instructors harder to fire. So Ms. Rhee has proposed spectacular raises of as much as $40,000, financed by private foundations, for teachers willing to give up tenure. Policy makers and educators nationwide are watching to se

I am a 28, white, bored gay male in Denver CO. I teach middle school art and thought teaching would be fun. Because of budget cuts, Im not sure I have a job next fall, and finding a teaching job in Denver will be really hard (there will be a lot of unemployed teachers here). I grew up here in Denver, went to college nearby, and have family here. It is here I have connections and with the state government I have a retirement fund. However, there is a part of me that wants to leave t

I'm 40 yrs old, a teacher making approximately $44,000 a year, been teaching 15 years so I would like to finish out in the same retirement system, have one child, a home mortgage, and a car mortgage. I'm basically average middle-income, middle-class person. Based on that - McCain or Obama more likely to work in sync with what I need?

i understand that teachers in schools, colleges and universities are all underpaid, undervalued and over worked. i could emphasise with them on that. and yes a lot of them have kids or are parents and are struggling to make ends meet to provide for them and put food on the table. but teaching isn't all about money- it's about going into an environment where you are giving those pupils/students the essential tools, knowledge and skills that will equip them for work and life later on, particul

I read that some people can get their 401-k funds to create a business without paying taxes and that is why I am asking if I could get my funds from the Teacher Retirement System without leaving my current job as teacher

Just wondering if the teacher retirement in California is supposed to be pretty good? I am talking about the mandatory retirement deduction we have taken out of our paychecks each month....Is it pretty good? Seriously clueless about it and I have been teaching in the public school system for about 7 years. Time for me to get educated about my retirement? Any input is appreciated.

We have a different retirement system called STRS. I was just wondering the reason behind setting up a whole new system instead of using social security thats already in place. It doesn't bother me one way or another but I was curious why teachers have a separate retirement system. Thanks!

Trying to figure out how people get the idea that teachers are not well paid. Public school teachers, if you review their contracts, are required to work about 5 hours per day, and about 160 days per year. Their average wage is about $65,000. Their benefits are almost always 90% paid for by the school system, and their retirement compensation is the best in the world for ANY profession. Using my figures above, which I've seen in many teachers contracts (contact your board of education, all c
