Retirees can teach a year in a shortage area or priority school district without
impacting their retirement benefits.
Read the following from the CT TRB. Tech Ed (047) is
listed by them as a shortage area.
A retired member may be reemployed in a designated subject shortage area or a school in a
priority school district and continue to receive pension income for a period of one school year.
(With prior approval by the Teachers Retirement Board, such reemployment may be extended for
an additional school year). The employing school district must submit a 2013-14 Subject
Shortage Area or Priority School District Reemployment Form (PDF 104KB) to CTRB prior to the
reemployment of the retired member. While reemployed in a designated subject shortage area or
a school in a priority school district, such former teacher shall be eligible for the same health
insurance benefits provided to active teachers employed by such school system. During this
period of reemployment, a health insurance subsidy payment will not be issued nor is the
reemployed member eligible to participate in a TRB Health Plan.
