Benefits Information

Retirement (SERS/STRS)

TRECA will make an employee contribution to SERS/STRS on behalf of staff members. The standard contribution equals 14% of the employee’s calculated salary. The TRECA Board of Director’s may also grant “pick-up” of the employee’s retirement contribution.

If the amount contributed by the employee is “picked up” then the amount shall be included in computing the final average salary for retirement purposes, provided that no staff member's gross income is increased by such "pick-up" nor is TRECA's total contribution to SERS/STRS increased thereby. The amount designated as "picked-up" by the Governing Board shall be included in computing the staff member's daily rate for the purpose of sick leave conversion upon retirement.

Health Insurance (Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield & VSP Vision)
