Licensed teachers working in positions requiring a license are members of the Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS). Their earnings are reported to TRS.
Important: If you have a question about whether particular earnings paid to licensed teachers should be reported to TRS or IMRF, or whether a position is covered by TRS or IMRF, check with TRS first. If TRS advises you that the earnings should not be reported to TRS, check with IMRF.
