Teachers in CT contribute 8.25% of our salary towards our retirement. 7% goes into the Teacher’s Retirement plan. 1.25% goes into the state retiree insurance fund. Upon retirement, all teachers get a benefit based on years of service and average of top three years of salary.

Requirements:

• 20 years of Connecticut service and be at least age 60
• 35 years of service (minimum 25 years CT) at any age
• If you retire earlier, your benefit may be reduced
