Act No. 109 Lets ORP Participants Join TRSL Plan

On May 21, 2024, Governor Jeff Landry signed HB 31 allowing Optional Retirement Plan (ORP) participants a one-time irrevocable election to join the Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL). Act No. 109 removes the irrevocability clause, which has been in place since July 1, 1990, when the ORP was first introduced.

To learn more about Act 109 and view the FAQ, as well as see how it may apply to you, please visit the TRSL webpage. 

Please note only service in the TRSL regular defined benefit retirement plan will be used for calculating retirement benefits. Service in ORP will not be used to attain eligibility for retirement, disability, or survivor benefits.

For more information please register for TRSL's Virtual Webinars or view the recording of HRM's Town Hall, presented by TRSL on September 5, 2024.

Original forms must be returned to your HRM office. Copies, faxes, or scans will not be accepted.
