Did you know, Teacher Retirement Systems (TRS) are pension plans for educators. 📚💼 TRS benefits can impact Social Security due to the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). WEP can reduce Social Security benefits for those with TRS pensions, and GPO can affect spousal or survivor benefits. It's crucial for teachers to understand these rules when planning for retirement.
