Battalion Staff
Employees and retirees of Texas
A&M University could receive
higher retirement benefits if the
legislation which Sen. William T.
“Bill” Moore, D-Bryan, and Rep.
Bill Presnal, D-Bryan, have intro
duced is passed.
The proposed legislation would
remove the $25,000 ceiling on
which teacher retirement deposits
are made. No deposits, and sub
sequently no retirement benefits,
are allowed for wages above that
amount.
Henry D. Eckert, Texas A&M
employee benefits manager, said
the ceiling has been raised twice
since 1937, but each time it created

a liability to the Teacher Retirement
System.
Retirees received higher benefits
without having made contributions
at the higher rate, causing the liabil
ity, he said.
The legislation would eliminate
the liability and “keep retirement
benefits more in pace with actual
earnings.”
Employees pay 6.65 percent of
their salaries to the fund and the
state pays 7.5 percent. The proposal
also would raise the state’s contribu
tion to 8.5 percent of the employee’s
salaries.
The bill would also change sur
vivor benefits from a $500 lump sum
and $75 per month to a $1,500 lump
sum and $100 per month. Be
neficiaries with children under age
18 would receive $200 a month, up
from $150 a month.
If the legislation were passed,
those who started receiving benefits
before March 31, 1969, would get a
20 percent increase. Those whose
benefits have started since then but
before Sept. 1, 1973, wouldj
percent increase.
A 5 percent increase wo
given to those who began n
benefits after Sept. 1, 1973,
fore May 31, 1977.
