Establishing Prior Service Credit in TCRS

When an employee joins TCRS, they begin receiving employment credit with their participating employer. The credit is called membership service and is based on salary and service information reported to TCRS by the employer.

Prior Service or “Service Purchase” is the establishment of service other than the membership service reported by the employer while a member is actively working.

To learn more about how to establish prior service credit and what types of service can be credited, see the Establishing Prior Service Credit Employer Reference Guide on the For Employers page of RetireReadyTN.gov.
