A CTPF retiree may decide to return to work as a teacher, but there are some rules to be aware of to avoid a pension suspension, cancellation, and possible benefit overpayment. Returning to work on a permanent, annual basis will generally result in your pension being immediately cancelled, to resume only upon re-retirement.
Employers of CTPF Members
Employers provide a vital link between members and the Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund (CTPF). Accuracy in reporting and payment is important, as CTPF’s effectiveness in benefit administration rests largely on the data reported by Employers, which determines members’ creditable service credit, creditable earnings, retirement contributions, and their future retirement benefits.
