Join For Life - OEA-Retired, NSEA-Retired, NEA-Retired

If you are retiring this year or thinking about retiring soon, please consider joining OEA-Retired, NSEA-Retired and NEA-Retired before you retire as a Pre-retired Life Subscriber. Then when you retire you automatically become a Life member of all three organizations, OEA-Retired, NSEA-Retired and NEA-Retired regardless of what the dues are when you retire. There will be no more dues payments--ever!

Please check our web pages for more information on the benefits of membership and watch our great short video on YouTube

The current total life dues for all three organizations are $500 and payments can be worked out with Marj at the OEA.

If you retire and need to continue receiving health insurance through BCBS Educators Health Alliance group rates, you MUST be a member of the retired organizations.

Call Marj Stolle (346-0400) for a membership form to be a Pre-retired Life Subscriber.
