TSC pension status online. Teachers who retire from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) have a reason to smile.

This is because the Commission has instructed the timely completion of their pension payments.

The compulsory retirement age is sixty (60). Two years before the date of retirement, a notice is provided.

In certain situations, the Commission may grant a shorter retirement notice.

Thousands of teachers who retire each year have previously had to wait for years to collect their pension payments.

Some of these educators died before getting their benefits.
