State of Connecticut Teachers Retirement Board

Membership and participation in the Teachers' Retirement System is mandatory for all eligible teachers. Eligibility requirements are as follows:

  • You occupy a position which requires you to hold certification,
  • You possess the appropriate Connecticut certification for that position, and
  • You are employed for a minimum average of half-time or greater.

Your membership in the Teachers' Retirement System will begin the month in which you start working provided it is on the first working day of the month.  

Mandatory Contributions
As a member of the Teachers' Retirement System, state law requires that 7.25% of your annual salary be paid into the retirement fund as mandatory contributions. Although these are employee contributions, under the provisions of Section 414(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, they are treated as employer contributions for federal tax purposes. The change in tax treatment of the contributions became effective July 1, 1991. This means that your mandatory contributions are paid to this system on a pre-tax basis while you are actively employed. Of the mandatory 7.25% contribution, 6% is posted into your membership account and 1.25% is posted to the Health Insurance Fund which helps reduce the cost of health insurance for retired members and spouses.
Eligible teachers who participate in TRB do not contribute to Social Security.

Please visit www.ct.gov/trb for more information on the Teachers’ Retirement System.
