Important Dates and Reminders
*New TRS-Care Medicare Advantage Enrollees*: Participants enrolling in the TRS-Care Medicare plans with a *coverage start date on or after Jan. 1, 2023* must send their Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) to TRS. You may either mail or fax (512-542-6575) the form to TRS, or call us at 1-888-237-6762. If TRS does not get your MBI, TRS will not be able to enroll you, and you risk losing TRS-Care coverage altogether. If your TRS-Care Medicare Advantage coverage began prior to Jan. 1, 2023, you do *not *need to send your MBI to TRS. " "
*Keep your address current with TRS*: If you need to change your address, we need to get written notice with your social security number or TRS Participant ID number, and your signature. You may also change your address online if you’re currently a registered "MyTRS [ [link removed] ]" user. Alternatively, you may mail or fax us a "Change of Address Notification" form (TRS 358) [ [link removed] ].
