Hunting High and Low (But Mostly Your Inbox)
First things first, let's retrace your steps. Did you ever receive a welcome packet from TRS? These bad boys are packed with more information than a textbook on retirement planning (okay, maybe a slight exaggeration, but they're important!). Your TRS ID number should be staring you right in the face, probably on the first page, begging to be noticed.
Failing that, have you checked your email inbox? TRS is pretty good about sending out important updates and reminders, and your ID number might be lurking in one of those emails. Just type "TRS ID" or "Member ID" in the search bar and see what pops up.
Is your inbox a digital graveyard? No worries! There's still hope.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
Calling in the Cavalry (a.k.a. The TRS Helpline)
The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia has a fantastic customer service team (seriously, they're the real MVPs). Just dial 877-927-5877 (that's 877-9-ASK-TRS) and a friendly voice will guide you through the TRS ID retrieval process. Just be prepared to answer a few security questions to prove you're the rightful owner of that sweet, sweet retirement account.
Bonus points if you can answer these questions in a superhero voice.
"What is your social security number, citizen?" (cue dramatic music)
Your Pay Stub Holds the Key (Maybe)
Teachers, rejoice! Your TRS ID number might be hiding in plain sight on your glorious pay stub. Look for it near the top left corner, nestled amongst all those numbers that make your bank account happy.
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
Non-teachers, fear not! This tip might still be helpful if you're digging through old paperwork or helping a friend in need.
