In a couple weeks, you should be receiving a supplemental payment--or "13th check"--from TRS. This 13th check will offer you up to $2,000 on top of your typical pension annuity.

We know that for most retired school professionals, this 13th check is an essential amount of money that will help you take care of crucial needs. Texas AFT, TSTA, and the Texas Pension Coalition would like to know what you can finally take care of because of your 13th check. This survey takes about 5 minutes to complete--and your answers will make a huge difference in how we can fight for retired school employees like you to receive better pensions.

TSTA and Texas AFT fought throughout the legislative season to make sure that your 13th check would be a meaningful payment. Our partners at Texas Pension Coalition are working with us to build from this session and work toward even bigger goals for retired educators and school professionals moving forward.
