Survivors and Alternate Payees

Defined

Some individuals receive monthly TRS benefits due to their relationship with a TRS member or retiree. Such an individual may be the joint annuitant or surviving beneficiary of a deceased member, or may be an "alternate payee" who is entitled to a share of a retiree's benefit pursuant to a Family Law Order.
