Year-End Reporting & Payment Plan Reminders

Report and Payment Deadline

As the fiscal year comes to a close, a reminder that year-end reports and payments must be submitted by July 15, 2026. Employers who do not meet TFFR's monthly reporting deadlines are subject to a $250 penalty and 1% compounding monthly interest.

Fiscal Year-end Checklist

Active Members (Full and Part-time)

• If the member worked 700 hours or more during the fiscal year, report 700 hours.
• If the member worked less than 700 hours, report actual hours.
• When reporting Active Member hours, always include extra-curricular activities, professional development and In-staff subbing.

Retired Members (Return to Teach)

• Report actual hours worked, even if it's more than 700 hours.
• When reporting Retired Member hours, do not include extra-curricular, professional development, or subbing hours.

All Members

Last Day Worked

• Report the employee’s actual last day worked in the school, not the payroll date.

Remaining Contract Salary

• Expense any remaining contract salary on your fiscal year-end report.

Unused Leave

• Do not report unused sick leave, personal leave or vacation leave.

Termination (Retirements and Resignations)

If an employee is not returning for the next school year, after submitting your year-end report, close out the member's account by completing a termination using the “Create an Enrollment” wizard and selecting termination.

Update or Affirm your Payment Plan by July 1

Employers may choose to pay all or a portion of TFFR member contributions as long as all employees covered under the plan— teachers and administrators, and full-time and part-time staff—follow the same contribution model.

• Payment plans must be updated or affirmed annually through MyTFFR by July 1.
• Employers will not be able to submit reports or payments for the new fiscal year until the payment plan has been updated or affirmed.
• You may complete this process early to avoid delays.

Model 2 Partial Contribution Changes

Effective July 1, 2025, employers using Model 2 (Partial) must contribute in whole percentage increments. For example, employers may contribute 10% but not partial percentages such as 10.75%.

Only when employers select Model 2 (Full), where the employer pays 100% of member contributions, will the contribution rate be a fractional percentage. In this instance, the rate is 11.75%, the maximum member contribution level
