Join the Largest Retired Educator Association in the State!
Public education is under attack, and with it, pension benefits are at risk. Remember, your pension can be reduced or eliminated with just one piece of legislation!
Right now, the General Assembly is proposing to divert tens of millions of dollars directly to private schools, which could devastate public education—and potentially have a negative impact to your pension, cost of living adjustment and place PSRS/PEERS at risk.
MRTA is on the front lines, advocating for your public education pension every day at the Capitol and across the state. However, this vital work cannot continue without your support. Join or renew your membership today. For just $39 a year, it's the best investment you can make to protect your most valuable asset—your pension!

🌿 Grassroots Advocacy: Powered by Your Membership
📢 MRTA is a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit corporation, functioning as a grassroots advocacy association representing over 110,000 retirees with 30,000 members. Our independence and nonpartisan stance ensure that we focus solely on protecting and enhancing the benefits of Missouri's retired educators. Importantly, MRTA is funded entirely by membership dues, making your participation crucial to our continued success.
🏛️ A Monumental Victory for Retired Educators!
📜 A perfect example of MRTA’s recent wins includes a historic win for retired educators and public service employees, President Joe Biden signed the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82) into law on January 5, 2025. This landmark legislation repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO), ending unfair reductions to Social Security benefits for over 3.2 million public workers, including teachers, police officers, and firefighters.
💰 The repeal ensures that retirees receive the full benefits they have earned, with an average increase of $360 in their monthly payments. This success highlights the power of collective advocacy and the vital role organizations like MRTA play in protecting your financial future.
