TRA Legislative Changes

The Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement is considering major changes to TRA contributions and benefits. The Board of Trustees has proposed a package that is balanced and should help keep the fund strong for generations. Unfortunately, some are using this situation to propose unnecessary benefit cuts and increased active member out-of-pocket contributions. These ideas will exacerbate the teacher shortage and are designed to hurt public education. Please call your legislators and the pension commission and indicate your support for the TRA proposal. The plan is thoroughly vetted and is the fairest way to ensure that our pension remains strong! Feel free to contact your legislators through this link.
