Teachers' Retirement System

What if I work after retirement?

In some cases, depending on the position and the extent to which you work, your benefit may be affected if you return to work for a Washington public employer after retirement. Under certain circumstances you may be required to become a member of another DRS-covered retirement system.

Before you return to work, please call TRS to determine how your benefits will be affected. You can also find a summary of post retirement work requirements in the brochure Thinking About Working After Retirement? available from your employer or DRS.
