HB 5156 provides a one-time cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to eligible retirees and beneficiaries under the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) in January 2026. It also establishes an annual COLA adjustment based on inflation, subject to TRS’s actuarial soundness. If funds are insufficient, the TRS board will determine the maximum feasible increase without jeopardizing the system’s financial health.
