Retirement eligibility is determined by your start date in a benefit eligible position. Under current state law, if you were employed in a benefits-eligible position with the A&M System on August 31, 2003, you are eligible to participate in the Texas A&M System group insurance plan as a retiree and receive the employer contribution toward your premiums as a retiree when: 

• You are at least age 55 with 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
  • You must have an intact TRS or ORP account.*
  • The A&M System must be your last state employer, and
  • 3 years of service must be with the A&M System

If you were hired by the A&M System in a benefits-eligible position after August 31, 2003, or if you left A&M System employment before August 31, 2003, and did not meet the criteria listed above as of August 31, 2003, you are eligible to participate in the Texas A&M System group insurance plan as a retiree and receive the employer contribution toward your premiums as a retiree when: 

• You are at least age 65 with at least 10 years of TRS or ORP service credit, or your age plus years of service equal at least 80 with 10 years of service credit, and
  • You must have an intact TRS or ORP account.*
  • The A&M System must be your last state employer, and
  • 10 years of service must be with the A&M System

*An intact TRS account is one that has not been withdrawn. An intact ORP account is a 403(b) account containing funds that can be tied to your Texas ORP account.
