Revising working retiree provisions under TRS

House Bill 158 revises the provisions for retired teachers, specialists, and administrators who return to work in public schools under the Teachers' Retirement System. It extends the maximum period for re-employment from three years to five years, allowing eligible retirees to continue receiving their retirement benefits without interruption. This applies if the retired member has at least 27 years of creditable service and the school district certifies it was unable to fill the position with a non-retired applicant. The bill also extends the termination date for these temporary re-employment provisions to June 30, 2029.
