The Oklahoma County Retired Educators Association (OCREA) was organized for ALL members of the Teachers' Retirement System in Oklahoma County. Anyone who received a retirement check (teacher, administrator, support personnel, health care services, spouse of member) is entitled and encouraged to become a member.
