TRS-ActiveCare
In 2001, the 77th Legislature passed HB 3343 which created the first ever
statewide health insurance program for active public school employees. The program is
mandatory for all school districts with 500 or fewer employees but allows for larger
districts to participate over time.
Plan
highlights
TRS-ActiveCare does not cover retired public school
employees. However, retirees are eligible for coverage under the
TRS-Care Health Insurance Benefits for Retirees.
Providing public school employees and retirees affordable, quality health insurance is an ongoing challenge. ATPE plans
to keep our members focused on the issue so we can effectively persuade the Legislature to provide public school employees
with high-quality health insurance benefits that are fully funded by the state.
