Is membership in PSRS required?
A. Yes. PSRS membership is required, regardless of position, for certificated employees employed to work by an employer within the Retirement System in a position that normally requires the employee to work the full school day, or at least the same number of hours per week as required for such a position, and also normally requires the employee to work at least 600 hours during the school term. Certificated employees/teachers employed less than full-time for at least 17 hours per week on a regular basis in a position that requires the employee to work at least 600 hours during the school term may elect membership in the Public Education Employee Retirement System (PEERS) within the first 90 days of their initial part-time employment.
