When Must I Act?

Forms must be received by Payroll and HR Services within 90 days of your eligibility date.

Caution 1: If you miss your 90-day enrollment deadline, you will not be able to participate in the ORP throughout your career in Texas.

Caution 2: Paycheck(s), issued to you before payroll receives and enters your ORP data, will automatically have a TRS deduction, to be refunded (TRS 29). This refund cannot roll into your ORP account and does not include the state contribution.
