What Is Education Retirement Program?
The Education Retirement Program (ERP) of Texas is an organization whose main purpose is to provide information for teachers regarding their current pension plan and supplemental options. A majority of the educators we have consulted with have little to no knowledge of how retirement works.
ERP representatives help inform educators on how they can retire. No financial products are solicited on our initial ERP meetings.
ERP Representatives may have their own financial practices, where educators can seek more information on available financial products on a separate meeting. No educator is obliged or required to buy financial products in exchange of the financial information ERP provides.
ERP Representatives are not representing or affiliated in any way with TRS. ERP Representatives are not authorized by TRS to
a) access members’ retirement accounts,
b) give retirement estimates on behalf of TRS or
c) give any information, materials, or recommendations that are not endorsed or approved by TRS.
