đź’ˇ Funeral Tip
Did you know?
If you’re a member of the Oklahoma Teachers’ Retirement System (TRS), your survivor death benefit may be taxable if it’s paid directly to your beneficiary.
With proper planning before death, you may be able to designate a licensed funeral home to receive the benefit, potentially helping your family avoid unnecessary tax liability while also helping cover funeral expenses.
Many Oklahoma educators and their families aren’t aware of this option.
If you’d like to learn more about preplanning or your available options, we’re always happy to answer your questions.
Please share to any retired teacher that you know ❤️
