Joining the Plan
Congratulations on joining the plan. ATRF is here to navigate you through the pension waters from the time you begin teaching to when you’re ready for retirement.
If you’re a salaried teacher employed under a teaching contract with a plan employer, you will automatically join the plan. Learn more by clicking the button below.
Overview of the Plans
Substitute Teaching
Substitute teachers not employed under a teaching contract do not participate in the plans and therefore, no pension contributions are deducted from your salary for substitute service with an ATRF employer. If you worked as a substitute teacher for an ATRF employer after May 1, 1971, you may be eligible to purchase that service.

Annual Plan Member Statements
Annual plan member statements are available digitally through your MyPension account once data from employers has been received and reconciled. If you’ve opted for paperless communication, you will receive an email when your statement is available. For those that choose a paper copy, statements are mailed in the spring. The link below will indicate when your digital statement is available.
