Teachers Retirement Board

I am a teacher who will be retiring soon. I have attempted for 4 months to purchase service hours for time accrued - one year. I have called four times, emailed twice, and have yet to try faxing. There have been no return messages or emails. There is no accountability at this agency which by its name implies service for teachers. Why as a teacher and required to return calls and emails to my constituents ( parents) within two days. My paperwork has gone into a black hole!

Need something done regarding your retirement benefits? Don't call the CT TRB - they never pick up, and don't return calls. Thinking of faxing them instead? That's alright, as long as you don't mind getting your fax lost in their paperwork. Maybe sending them an email will be more efficient for your urgent matter? Only if you can wait 10 business days for them to reply. Connecticut has some of the worst retirement benefits for teachers in the nation, and their services are equally ineffective.

Never received my annual pension adjustment statement. Tried calling, which in itself is frustrating since none of the inquiries made sense. Then you can’t leave a message because the mailbox is full ( probably many like myself who did not get statement) and no email address to send request to. An antiquated system at best….

It’s impossible to talk with a live person on the phone!!! I have left messages but never heard back. Are only automated voices working there??!
