Claiming credit for substitute teaching

If you work as a substitute teacher, your employer(s) reports to DRS the amount of service performed. To receive credit for your service, you must apply for it after June 30. For information about this procedure, ask your employer or TRS for a copy of the publication The Substitute Teacher’s Guide to Obtaining Service Credit. If your substitute teaching was before the 2004-2005 fiscal year, contact your employer(s) to obtain your quarterly reports.
