Teacher Retirement System of Texas

Legacy is an active member of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS). TRS is a public pension plan of the state of Texas. It provides retirement and retirement-related benefits for those employed by public schools, colleges, and universities supported by the State of Texas. The physical and mailing address if the agency is:

Teacher Retirement System of Texas
1000 Red River Street
Austin TX 78701

All personnel employed on a regular basis for at least one-half of the normal work schedule are members of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS). Enrollment and participation in TRS is automatic and cannot be revoked.

Substitutes not receiving TRS service retirement benefits who work at least 90 days a year are also eligible for TRS membership and to purchase a year of creditable service.

There are some instance in which a part-time employee would be TRS eligible and thereby automatically enrolled as a TRS member. More information regarding eligibility and what is considered creditable compensation that is subject to TRS can be found directly on the TRS website at trs.texas.gov.

All eligible employees can expect to see the deductions for these contributions to your TRS retirement account on your pay stub as "TRS Regular" and "TRS Care".

TRS provides members with an annual statement of their account showing all deposits and the total account balance for the year ending August 31st, as well as an estimate of their retirement benefits. If you do not receive this statement, please contact TRS directly by calling 1-800-223-8778.

Purchasing Service Credit

In addition to earning membership service credit for employment with a TRS-covered employer, eligible TRS members may purchase service credit as provided by law. Please refer to the TRS Service Credit brochure, located in the Purchase Service Credit section of the TRS website, for descriptions of the types of service that may be purchased and the eligibility requirements.

Beneficiaries

As a retirement account, TRS holds benefits to those you so choose to appoint following your passing. In order to make sure your designee receives this, you must contact TRS directly to add one or more beneficiaries to your retirement account. Please contact TRS immediately for information on how to add a beneficiary to your retirement account if you have not done so already.
