Why the guides cover North Carolina rules

The rules a teacher may want to check before taking a part-time job sit with different bodies. Return-to-work rules for TSERS retirees are set by state law and applied by NC Retirement Systems. NC licenses follow State Board of Education rules and are handled through DPI. The Social Security earnings test is federal law, applied by the Social Security Administration. The guides gather those rules in one place, explain them in plain English, and quote the agencies and laws that set them.

How we check what we publish

• Official sources, quoted. Rules and numbers come from the bodies that set or publish them: the NC Department of Public Instruction (DPI) and the State Board of Education; NC Retirement Systems (the Retirement Systems Division of the NC Department of State Treasurer); the NC General Statutes, session laws and Administrative Code; the Social Security Administration and federal rules published on govinfo.gov; the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; and other public agencies where a page needs them. When the exact words of a rule decide something, the guide quotes them and says where they come from. The sources behind each guide are named on the guide itself.
• AI use. The guides are drafted with AI help. Each rule and figure from a public agency is then checked against the source the guide cites.
• Checked dates. Each guide gives the date its facts were last checked against their sources; that date changes only after a new check.
• Real tutors only. We publish a tutor’s first name, photo or words only with that tutor’s permission, and never use stock photos or invented quotes in their place.
• Not advice. The guides explain rules in general. How a rule applies to you is for NC Retirement Systems, DPI or the Social Security Administration to say, so confirm your own case with them.
