Oklahoma Teachers Retirement System

Oklahoma Teachers Retirement System Our Mission: We collect, protect, and grow assets to provide a secure retirement income for public education employees.

TRS began operations on July 1, 1943, and began paying retirement checks to the first retirees on January 1, 1947. Teachers and administrators are required to be members and support st

aff working 20 hours or more per week may join voluntarily or opt out of participation. Employees of approximately 600 local school districts, career technology schools, public colleges and universities are enrolled as members of the TRS.

TRS provides a defined benefit plan, which means your retirement benefit is based on a set formula that considers factors like your years of service and salary history — not just stock market performance. Unlike retirement plans that depend primarily on investment account balances, a defined benefit plan is designed to provide a reliable monthly income for life after retirement. That predictability can help members plan ahead with more confidence and better understand what to expect in the future. Learning how your retirement plan works today can help you make more informed decisions for tomorrow.
