ARTC and TRB

What's the difference?


Acronym letters or abbreviations can be confusing when they stand as a shortened form of a name. We have found this to be particularly true in these past few months at Association of Retired Teachers of Connecticut (ARTC)!  ARTC is a retired teacher organization that solely represents and advocates for preserving benefits - pension and healthcare for Connecticut’s retired teachers. You can become a member for $50 a year or $500 Life, and participate in luncheons with guest speakers, become a member of an affiliate, receive informative emails and newsletters.  


Many retirees who have called us or emailed us are confusing ARTC with the Teachers’ Retirement Board (TRB).  The TRB is a state agency that administers and controls the Teachers Retirement System. TRB oversees and manages benefits for Connecticut’s retired teachers. They are the Board that approved the selection of UnitedHealthcare Plans and premium costs for retired teachers for this new contract. 


ARTC has insurance, legislative and membership committees, made up of retired teachers who do their homework in order to find answers to your questions and support you as a retired teacher.  ARTC provides this information as an educational service to our members and as a starting point. Please, with this notice, understand the difference between the organizations.   


Important Contact information for you to remember.

Your Membership in ARTC helped to accomplish:


ARTC lobbied vigorously to maintain a Connecticut tax exclusion for retired teachers. While we were unable to maintain the 50% exclusion as promised for 2017, we were able to maintain the law for 2019.

The law implementing the 50% tax exclusion on y9ur CT pension income has been delayed for two years. In 2017 and 2018, 25% of your teacher retirement income will be excluded from state income tax. 

The state has agreed to make a 25% contribution to our Health insurance Premium Account over the next two years This is less than the promised 33% contribution. There remains concerns about the funds sustainability in the future.
