The average teacher retiring from the State Teachers Retirement System will have earnings in the $50,000 to $60,000 range. Their monthly pension payout, if they choose the Maximum Option, will be in the $2500 per month range (assuming they are in the 55-62 age range).
Most retiring teachers do not choose the Maximum Payout Option, however. The overwhelming majority choose the Joint & Survivor Payout Option. Choosing this Joint Payout Option ensures that their beneficiary will continue to receive payments if the retiree dies before them. But it has a cost: a reduction of 18% to 22% from the Maximum Payout Option amount...or about $500 per month.
Teachers should know that there is another option to consider:
The Pension Maximization Plan works by providing the beneficiary benefits for life if the retiree dies before the beneficiary. The Retiree chooses the Maximum Payout Option, pays the Plan's cost, and, in most cases, has several hundred dollars per month more in pension income. They are able to both receive the maximum amount from the State Teachers Retirement System, and provide continuing and uninterrupted life time benefits to their beneficiary.
Your system can provide you estimates of your retirement income, including the choices for you to pick from. Don't make the mistake so many make by choosing the Joint & Survivor Option without investigating the Pension Maximization Option.
