In Texas, more than $2 billion in retroactive payments has been distributed.<\/p>\n<p>TRTA has continued to go from strength to strength in its mission to advocate for retired educators. However, there is still more work to be done. The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) recently reported that the pension fund has experienced a setback in paying down its unfunded liabilities, which hampers the state\u2019s ability to provide cost-of-living increases.<\/p>\n<p>TRTA has its sights set on 2026 as the time to lay the groundwork for improving the pension fund and helping secure additional funding for retired educators.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Gracias<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Thank you for your membership to TRTA.
