There is life after retirement from public
employment. As a public employee retiree you have an
abundance of experience, skills and abilities which you
can choose to use to better your own life, and the lives
of others. Joining the PEF Retirees will give you an
opportunity to use your skills to enrich your life.
The best way retirees can get the benefits they need is
by organizing. In order 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 volume of
our membership.
The PEF
Retirees are a group of public employee retirees, who
like you, dedicated our lives to public service. Many of
our members were also active PEF union members. We are an
organization of retiree activists concerned about a
variety of retiree issues ranging from the well-being of
our retiree colleagues to the protection of our pension
benefits and health care issues. We actively lobby for
improvements in our pension system, our health care
benefits, our tax liabilities, and all aspects of our
lives through the legislative process.
Active membership in the PEF Retirees provides you with the
option of participating in a number of PEF Retiree
benefit programs. You must be a member to take advantage
of any of our benefits. These
benefit programs include:
* Dental/Vision Program
* Legal Service Plan
* Defensive Driving Course
* Amusement Park Discounts
* Car Rental Discounts
* Auto/Homeowners/Renters Insurance
* Travel Rebate through PEF Travel Services
* Movie Ticket/Video Rental Discounts
* Ski Discounts
The political effectiveness of
retirees is potentially enormous because legislators know
that mature citizens (and their families) vote. By
concentrating our demands through a strong retiree
organization, we can achieve our legislative and benefits
goals.
Members of the PEF Retirees continually talk to their
members of the New York State Assembly and Senate on
behalf of your retiree issues.
We are also part of a coalition of 27 public employee
retiree organizations who represent State, county, and
municipal public employee retirees. We make common cause
with local and State senior citizen organizations. We
work with the Public Employees Federation and have a
representation on the PEF Statewide Political Action
Committee.
We are continually changing, adding to, and improving our benefit programs for members of the PEF Retirees.
