Multiple Ohio Systems Coverage

Multiple Ohio Systems Coverage

An employee who has more than one job may contribute to more than one Ohio retirement system. For each covered job, the appropriate contributions should be sent to the proper retirement system.

For example, a licensed or certificated teacher who also drives a school bus. Contributions would be remitted to SERS for the school bus service, and contributions for the teaching service would be remitted to the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS).

There is an exception with regard to coaches and student activity advisors.

If the coach or advisor is a licensed or certificated teacher, even if the individual teaches in another district, contributions for coaching or advising are remitted to STRS. If the coach or advisor is not licensed or certificated, contributions for coaching or advising are remitted to SERS.
