If you would like to learn more about your TRS benefits, even if retirement is many years away, we encourage you to attend a meeting this fall. TRS will host statewide Benefit Information Meetings and webinars for active TRS members from September through early November that are designed to explain the TRS benefit structure, including retirement, disability, death benefits and an overview of the TRS Supplemental Savings Plan. The retirement process, health insurance benefits and post-retirement employment will also be discussed.
TRS is offering both in-person and virtual meetings this year. Both schedules are below.
