The Texas House Pensions, Investments, and Financial Services Committee (PIFS) has scheduled an interim hearing<\/a> for today at 10:00 a.m. to review and evaluate the actuarial soundness of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) pension fund and to study possible benefit enhancements, including a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), for TRS retirees.<\/p>\n

PIFS Committee Chairman Rafael Anchia is focusing on the financial needs of TRS retirees. He wants to find a way to meet those needs. The discussion about a COLA is just the beginning of what will be a deeper look into how much retirees are hurting due to increased inflationary pressure. More than half of current TRS retirees have never received a COLA. The last COLA that was passed by the Texas Legislature went to those who had retired in August 2004 or before.<\/p>\n

Chairman Anchia attended the Texas Retired Teachers Association\u2019s (TRTA) April Convention, where he spoke passionately about supporting retirees in the upcoming legislative session.<\/p>\n

TRTA will be providing testimony on behalf of its entire membership for the meeting.<\/p>\n

TRTA will have representatives from our legislative team speaking on behalf of our members during the hearing as well. A link to a live webcast of the meeting will be available from this website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRTA thanks Chairman Anchia and all the members of the PIFS committee for making TRS retirees a high priority ahead of the 88th<\/sup> Legislative Session that begins in January 2023. Our work to help TRS retirees receive a COLA already is kicking into high gear!<\/p>\n

\u00a1Gracias!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a1TRTA es el \u00fanico grupo que se enfoca \u00fanicamente en su seguridad de jubilaci\u00f3n TRS! \u00danase a nosotros hoy<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Thank you for being a member of TRTA and supporting issues that affect retired Texas public school personnel. Be sure to download the TRTA app<\/a> to receive all of the latest updates and communicate with your fellow retirees.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
