Abbott\u2019s proclamation<\/a>. The proclamation includes a list of agenda items that will be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Texas Retired Teachers Association (TRTA) will be happy to know that, per the proclamation, \u201clegislation similar to House Bill 3507 . . . relating to a \u2018thirteenth check\u2019 or supplemental payment of benefits under the Teacher Retirement System of Texas\u201d has been added to the list of special session priorities.<\/p>\n<p>As our members may recall, TRTA asked Gov. Abbott to add a benefit enhancement for retirees to the call. Bills that were filed during the regular 87<sup>th<\/sup> Legislative Session to provide a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) or other benefit enhancement failed to pass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trta.org\/es\/a-message-from-trta-president-leroy-dehaven\/\">A letter composed by TRTA President Leroy DeHaven<\/a> in June stated that \u201cmembers of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) who retired after September 1, 2004, have never seen an increase in their retirement checks. Seventeen years is too long for retired educators to go without a meaningful benefit enhancement! A raise is long overdue. Inflation is on the rise, and the only way retired educators will receive help is if the Legislature takes action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TRTA is very pleased to hear this news, and we are working to ensure TRS retirees receive the best possible benefit increase.<\/p>\n<p>Por favor, permanezca atento a la <em>L\u00ednea interior<\/em> for information about bills that are filed and urgent Action Alerts that will be needed on this vital issue!
