Using 'My TRS'
Accessing and Using My TRS
All active, inactive, and retired TRS members are encouraged to use My TRS to view their TRS member account balance, contact information, retirement benefit amount, and more. Survivors of retired TRS members who receive monthly benefits also can use My TRS.

- On the My TRS Login page, verify your identity as described below.
Digital Identity Verification
TRS has partnered with ID.me, the next-generation digital identity wallet, to provide enhanced online security for our members. Read our ID.me information page
Did you know? Many people already use ID.me on governmental websites like SSA.gov, IRS.gov, and VA.gov!
- If you already have an ID.me account: Click the bright green "Sign in with ID.me" button on the My TRS Login page. You'll use your same account to access My TRS.
- If you are new to ID.me: Use the "Create an Account" link. This will initiate the digital identity verification process with ID.me.
Once you have signed into ID.me with your verified "digital wallet," you'll be returned to My TRS automatically.
Note: If you see an error message indicating TRS was unable to confirm your member status, or if your current member status does not allow access to My TRS, call us at the number provided in the message.
