HB 4837 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to employer contributions for retirees of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas who resume certain employment with a public school.

HB 4837 adjusts how school districts contribute to the Teacher Retirement System of Texas when retired teachers return to work at public schools. It requires districts to pay the difference between what the retiree would contribute as an active member and the state's contribution, but only if that difference exceeds the state's portion. This directly affects retired teachers who resume teaching or other roles at public schools. The changes take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, ensuring districts only cover the gap in retirement funding when necessary.
