2026 TRS Health Plan Carriers Announced
TRS will keep the same medical plan carriers for 2026 after completing its competitive bid process, ensuring stability and continuity for members. Learn how this decision supports high‑quality, cost‑effective coverage for Texas public education employees and retirees.
Service Credit: Why it Matters
Service credit helps determine your eligibility for TRS benefits, including TRS-Care health coverage in retirement, and plays a major role in the amount of your benefits when you retire. Understanding the different types of service credit—and how and when to purchase more—can make a real difference in your retirement planning.
Last Chance for Limited-Time Enrollment Opportunity
If you’re eligible but have never enrolled in or previously left TRS-Care Medicare Advantage, you can still enroll through March 31 under our Limited-Time Enrollment Opportunity. Check out plan details, comparison resources and how to enroll on the TRS website.
Watch Out for New Cyber Threats
Even trusted tools can be misused. Recently, researchers uncovered a now‑patched Microsoft Copilot attack that allowed cybercriminals to steal personal data with just a single click on a legitimate‑looking link — no malware, no warnings. When personal information is exposed, it can be used to target financial and retirement accounts next.
To address risks, TRS shares cybersecurity tips like these. While TRS protects your personal information, staying alert online also plays a key role in keeping your TRS retirement account secure.
