HB 1039 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Extends the expiration date of a provision allowing retired teachers to serve as substitute teachers without a discontinuance of such teacher's retirement allowance

HB 1039 extends the expiration date of a provision allowing retired teachers (not receiving disability benefits) to work as part-time or temporary substitute teachers without losing their retirement allowance. The bill updates the existing policy, which currently expires in 2025, to remain in effect until June 30, 2030. This change directly affects retired teachers who wish to substitute in public schools while continuing to receive their retirement benefits, provided they work part-time or temporarily (not full-time). The law maintains existing requirements, such as background checks and school district approval, but clarifies that retirees cannot contribute to retirement systems during substitute work and must not exceed part-time limits to retain benefits.
