Eligibility for insurance benefits and employer contribution Under current state law, if you were retired from or employed in a benefits-eligible position with the A&M System on Aug.31, 2003, you are eligible for the employer contribution toward your premiums as a retiree when:

  • you are at least age 55 and have at least 5 years of TRS or ORP service credit or your age plus years of service equal at least 80, or you have at least 30 years of service and,
  • 3 of those years of service are with the A&M System,
  • the A&M System is your last state employer, and
  • you have an intact TRS or ORP account. *

If you left A&M System employment before Sept. 1, 2003, but you met the above criteria as of Aug. 31, 2003, you qualify for retiree benefit coverage under these criteria. If you were hired by the A&M System in a benefits-eligible position after Aug. 31, 2003, or if you left A&M System employment before Aug. 31, 2003, and did not meet the criteria listed above as of Aug. 31, 2003, you are eligible for the employer contribution as a retiree when:

  • you are at least age 65 and have at least 10 years of TRS or ORP service credit, or your age plus years of service equal at least 80 and you have 10 years of service credit, and,
  • 10 of those years of service are with the A&M System, or you have a combined total of 10 or more years of service with the A&M System, UT System, and ERS and the A&M System has the most years of service, or the A&M System has the same amount of service as the other highest System and A&M is your last employer, and,
  • you have an intact TRS or ORP account. *
