When a TRS retiree who retired after Sept. 1, 2005 works more than one-half time in the calendar month for a TRS-covered employer, the employer is required to pay surcharges to TRS. Please use the View Employee Information link in the RE Portal to determine if the retiree retired before or after Sept. 1, 2005, and if the TRS-Care surcharge applies for a particular retiree.
A TRS retiree who works no more than 92 hours in a calendar month will be considered employed one-half time or less and will not trigger surcharges. If a retiree who combines substitute and other TRS-covered employment in the same calendar month and works no more than 11 days in a calendar month, they will not trigger surcharges.
Working any part of a day, including a Saturday or Sunday, counts as one of the days a retiree may work when combining substitute and other work in the same calendar month.
