Tennessee Code Title 8. Public Officers and Employees § 8-36-911

(a) Except as provided in § 8-36-912, the early service retirement allowance payable to a participant under § 8-36-910 shall be computed as a service retirement allowance in accordance with § 8-36-907, but reduced by an actuarially determined factor as set by the board from time to time.

(b) Section 8-36-124 shall not apply in determining the retirement allowance payable under this section. Further, § 8-36-211(a)(2) shall not apply in calculating the supplemental bridge benefit for participants covered by the mandatory retirement provisions of § 8-36-205(a)(1) who retire on an early service retirement allowance pursuant to this section, nor shall § 8-36-211(b)(2) apply in calculating the supplemental bridge benefit for participants covered by the mandatory retirement provisions of § 8-36-205(a)(2) who retire on an early service retirement allowance pursuant to this section and whose employer adopted this part. Instead, the supplemental bridge benefit shall be equal to three-fourths of one percent (0.75%) of the participant's average final compensation, multiplied by the participant's years of creditable service when the participant was in a position covered by the mandatory retirement provisions of § 8-36-205, but reduced by an actuarially determined factor as set by the board from time to time.
