Benefits and Retirement
Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS)
As a TEEX employee, a percentage of your pay is automatically contributed to this defined benefit plan which enables you to receive a lifetime annuity UPON RETIREMENT based on a set formula. The Texas A&M System contributes a percentage as set by the Texas Legislature.
Medical, Dental, Vision
Medical, dental and vision coverage are available to eligible employees and family members during their TEEX years, as well as AFTER RETIREMENT. Coverage may begin when employment starts or once the state contribution is met.
Life Insurance
Basic Life, Alternative Life and Optional Life insurance programs pay benefits to your beneficiary should you die while covered by the plans. Dependent Life Insurance is also available.

LTD plans are available to assist with protecting your income in case of an extended disability that prevents you from working.
