Pension Transfer Information Center

HB 101, the pension transfer bill, passed during a brief special session of the legislature on Sunday, March 16, 2008. AFT-WV is pleased that members of the TDC will now be presented with the opportunity to transfer from the TDC to the TRS and receive a benefit for life. Starting now and lasting through May 12, AFT-WV will be working closely with those in the TDC to make sure that your questions are answered and that you fully understand the important choice you will be making. To schedule a workshop in your county, please contact your AFT-WV staff representative or call us at 1-888-222-9838.

Here are some useful links that will provide you with some basic information.
