HB 965 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Extends the expiration date of a provision allowing retired teachers to serve as substitute teachers without a discontinuance of such teacher's retirement allowance

HB 965 extends a provision allowing retired teachers (excluding those receiving disability retirement) to work part-time as substitute teachers without losing their retirement benefits. The bill specifically continues the rule that retired educators can substitute teach through 2030 without interruption to their retirement allowance or requiring contributions to retirement systems during this work. It applies directly to retired teachers employed by public school districts or third parties in temporary substitute roles. The key mechanism is maintaining the existing policy that prevents retirement benefit discontinuance for qualifying part-time substitute work.
