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.

The Teachers' Retirement System of Oklahoma was created by an act of the Oklahoma Legislature in 1943 after citizens amended the state constitution allowing the creation of a public retirement program for educators. 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.

Retirement doesn't always mean leaving the workforce for good.

If you're a TRS retiree considering returning to work, it's important to understand how post-retirement employment may affect your benefits. The requirements can vary depending on where you work, when you return, and the type of employment you choose.

Before heading back to work, take a few minutes to understand the rules and your options. Learn more in our Returning to Work After Retirement brochure:
