To assist you in planning for your retirement, TFFR is offering the following outreach programs during the 2008-2009 school year.

Pre-Retirement Seminars

To better serve you, we will hold statewide, one day pre-retirement seminars each summer in July 2008. Look for dates and locations in an upcoming newsletter. If your school would like to host a seminar, please contact TFFR for additional information.

Pre-retirement seminars are 7-hour programs held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with an hour for lunch (lunch on your own).

Topics include: TFFR retirement benefits, financial planning, estate planning, Social Security benefits, health insurance, adjusting to retirement.

All sites are open to all teachers with no charge to TFFR members. Pre-registration is required at least one week in advance. Confirmation of the location will be mailed to you before the scheduled seminar.

Benefits Counseling Program

Individual 30-minute benefits counseling appointments are available to all members to discuss TFFR benefits and other personal retirement concerns.

To register, call the Administrative Office at 1-800-952-2970 or 701-328-9886.

Retirement 101 Program

This program is geared to new North Dakota teachers. Retirement 101 is a 90- minute presentation covering TFFR basics and provides teachers the opportunity to ask questions about the retirement program.

If your employer would like to host a Retirement 101 program as part of a teacher mentoring program or during an in-service, please contact TFFR for additional information.

Teachers In Transition Program

This specialized counseling program and group presentation is available to TFFR members whose school is facing closing or consolidation. It is designed to provide information about the retirement options available to members leaving TFFR covered employment.
