Transfer of Sick Leave to Another School or Agency Which Participates in the RSA Teachers Retirement System: Employees who transfer to or from another school or agency that participates in the State Teachers Retirement system, on or after August 2001, may retain their accrued and unused sick leave balances. Sick leave which is transferred to Auburn University may be used for any purpose normally permitted for sick leave.
Once a member terminates employment prior to retirement eligibility, they have three options:
If the member is vested (has at least 10 years of service), retirement contributions may be left in the system until age 60. The member may apply for service retirement to be effective the first of the month following attainment of age 60.
With less than 10 years of service, the member may leave contributions in the system for up to five years. If the member has not returned to employment as a participating member, the account will be terminated and contributions plus any refundable accrued interest will be payable to the member.
The member may withdraw all retirement contributions and refundable interest. Member contributions are only refunded at the request of the member upon termination of employment and application for refund. To request a refund complete RSA Form 7, Notice of Final Deposit and Request for Refund and send to Auburn University Human Resources, Payroll & Employee Benefits. Refunds may be subject to a federal tax penalty.
Withdrawn contributions which were made on a tax deferred basis will be considered taxable income in the year in which they are received and, if the employee is younger than 59 1/2 years of age, the amount will be subject to a tax penalty. Questions concerning withdrawal of funds or retirement income should be directed to the contacts listed below:
