Could a teacher collect pensions from two states?

Yes, a teacher can potentially collect pensions from two states if they have worked and contributed to pension systems in both states. However, eligibility and benefits depend on the specific pension plans and the rules governing them. Some states have reciprocal agreements that allow for the sharing of service credits, while others may require the teacher to meet certain criteria. It’s important for the teacher to review the regulations of each pension system and seek guidance if needed.
