State Public Pensions in Louisiana

Louisiana's two largest public-employee pension systems are LASERS, for state employees, and TRSL, for teachers and other education employees. Survivor and death benefits depend on whether the member was active or retired and, for a retiree, on the benefit option the member elected at retirement.
