Just retired
from state service? Stay connected, stay active: Join PEF
Retirees
If you are one of the many PEF members who recently
retired from NYS service, or if you expect to retire
soon, we hope you will join our PEF Retirees
organization.
Joining PEF Retirees will give you the chance to use your
skills to enrich your life.
The best way retirees can get the benefits they need is
by organizing. To be effective as an organization we need
your active participation and assistance. Our ability to
provide retirees the quality of living they deserve
depends directly on the number and activism of our
members.
Membership in PEF Retirees allows you to participate in
several PEF Retiree benefit programs including many you
previously enjoyed as a PEF member. These include:
• Subscription to The Communicator;
• Dental/vision program;
• Legal service plan;
• Defensive driving program;
• Home and automobile insurance;
• Travel rebate through PEF Travel;
• Discounted cell phone service;
• Car rental discounts; and
• Discounted tickets for movies, skiing and
amusement parks.
The political effectiveness of retirees is potentially
enormous because legislators know that mature citizens
(and their families) vote. By concentrating our demands
through a retiree organization, we can achieve our
legislative and benefits goals.
PEF Retirees educates state and federal lawmakers about
the need to improve our pension system, our health care
benefits, our tax liabilities and all aspects of our
lives through the legislative process.
We are also affiliated with the American Federation of
Teachers Retirees (AFT, AFL-CIO) on the local and
national level. AFT is well suited to handle our
interests on the congressional level in Washington.
We work with PEF and are represented on PEF’s
Political Action Committee and Executive Board.
We are also part of a coalition of 27 public-employee
retiree organizations and we frequently work with other
local and state senior citizen organizations.
