Before October 29, 2021, TRS membership was optional for paraprofessionals. However, as of October 29, 2021, paraprofessionals in the following titles are automatically members of TRS: Auxiliary Trainer, Bilingual Professional Assistant, Educational Assistant, Educational Associate, and Teacher Aide.

Paraprofessionals should not submit an enrollment request on the TRS website; instead, TRS will automatically enroll them as members based on information from their employer.
