Legislation enacted during the 2021 legislative session allows members who retired on or before July 1, 2020, to return to employment as an active classroom teacher for a public school or career technology district with no earnings limitations in certain circumstances. Members seeking to return to employment as an active classroom teacher under this provision must meet all the following requirements:

(1) The member must have been retired as of July 1, 2020;

(2) The member must have been retired and drawing a TRS retirement benefit and not be employed by any public school or career technology district in any capacity for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months immediately following the last day of employment prior to their retirement date;

(3) The member can only be employed as an active classroom teacher as defined in 70 O.S. § 17-101(27) when they return to employment; and

(4) Within sixty (60) days of the member's return to employment, the member's employer must provide to TRS, in a manner prescribed by TRS, documentation establishing the member's eligibility under this provision.

(A) The Executive Director of TRS may waive the sixty (60) day requirement for good cause shown.

(B) To petition for waiver, either the TRS member, the employer, or both if appropriate under the circumstances, must provide written documentation of good cause to TRS along with documentation establishing eligibility under this provision.
