The problem is Tha while I was subbing the principal alaways told me not to come in on the on the 30th day. Also I resigned from the DOE in 2014. I worked in a Yeshiva for 2 years as a special education teacher. Then I worked as a SEIT for three years. Now I'm back at the DOE as a substitute Paraprofessional. I would like to know if there is any time that I can buy back when I become a full time paraprofessional? I also want to know if I will still be tier 4?<br />Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625275100618848284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-32158102573391560792017-02-04T21:41:02.134-05:002017-02-04T21:41:02.134-05:00Anon 8:28

However, you can increase your FAS and maybe add to the TDA as well.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-44001074998130035762017-02-04T20:28:54.353-05:002017-02-04T20:28:54.353-05:00Does anyone know about concurrent service credit? ...Does anyone know about concurrent service credit?

About 10-15 years ago, I realized that I was shorted about a month, so I made some calls to correct it. Turns out that the NYC records were destroyed. Anyway, my point is, either keep all paystubs and very good records, or apply for the buyback as soon as you can.

I am a tier IV memeber in the 55/27 program. I recently received a letter from the TRS regarding my participation in the program and one time ability to terminate my participation. I want to retire at age 55. When I called the TRS I was told I would be required to pay an AMC deficit if I remain in program. If I terminate membership, I would be refunded. A representative informed me that it doesn't makes sense to be in the 55/27 program because at age 55 I would have about 30 years of service . I'm confused, any suggestions.
