Attention recent graduates/former members of the IEA Student Program:
IEA encourages you to review this link which explains the recent changes to the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS). If you do not accept a teaching position for the 2010-2011 school year, we encourage you to substitute teach in a public school district before January 1, 2011 in order to earn service credit in TRS and qualify for Tier I retirement benefits. If you return to college to seek additional degrees or endorsements, you are eligible to renew your IEA Student membership. If you would like more information about the recent pension changes, obtaining a substitute certificate, or IEA membership benefits, please contact us.
