IRS Salary Cap

Some highly paid members may have their annual creditable compensation limited in accordance with Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code. These limits affect individuals who joined TRS for the first time on or after September 1, 1996. The annual limit is subject to indexing each plan year, based on federal regulations. Amounts excluded from creditable compensation under this law are not subject to member contributions and will not be used in calculating benefits.
