What can terminate my status as a dual member?

(1) If you terminate your status as a participating member, you also terminate your status as a dual member. If you are no longer a member participant in any dual member system, you are no longer a dual member. If you later become a member of a dual member system, you again become a dual member.
Example 2:
Upon separation from TRS Plan 2 eligible employment, the person in Example 1 (see WAC 415-113-041) is no longer a member of TRS Plan 2 nor a dual member.
(2) If you retire, you are no longer a dual member. When you retire from any or all dual member systems, you are no longer a dual member except for the purpose of receiving a deferred retirement allowance under RCW 41.54.030(3) and WAC 415-113-070.
(3) If you terminate dual membership, you may still be eligible to receive a multiple system benefit if otherwise eligible. The accrual date of your retirement allowance will vary depending upon the provisions of the particular system. You can find the accrual dates of different dual member systems in the following provisions:
