Retired Teacher Return to Work Program

A retired teacher may return to work without losing pension benefits according to § 105.269.1 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo).

As follows: Any metropolitan school district may allow retired teachers to teach in the said metropolitan school district for up to four years without losing his or her retirement benefits or to teach or be an administrator in a charter school established pursuant to sections 160.400 to 160.420 RSMo in said metropolitan school district without losing his or her retirement benefits. Said retired teachers need not be on the teachers salary scale. Said metropolitan school district shall place an emphasis on hiring retired teachers to teach in areas that include but are not limited to improving student reading which may include elementary remedial reading and the Read to be Ready Program as established under this act, math, science, and special education.

A retired teacher may participate in the program after written authorization from the school district or Charter Schools is filed with PSRS-STL. As a condition of program participation, employers shall not withhold employee contributions from the retired teachers compensation nor submit any contributions on behalf of the participant while they are working under the program. The retired teacher shall not accumulate any additional credited service or retirement benefits during the program participation period. The retired teacher shall continue to receive eligible pension benefits during the program participation period, including monthly benefit payments and group health, dental, and/or vision insurance.

For more information on participation in the PSRS-STL health insurance plans during the program participation period, the retired teacher should contact the Insurance Benefits Specialist at 314-534-7444 ext. 3011. If the retired teacher decides to participate in the employers health insurance plans, an insurance waiver form must be filed with PSRS-STL for insurance eligibility determination purposes at the end of the program participation period.
