A strong retiree organization is needed to protect retiree interests.  Increased retiree membership increases the influence of OEA and NEA.

  •  In addition, your interests at the statewide level are represented by the OEA-R Advisory Council with representatives from each OEA District who are committed to protecting and enhancing your STRS, PERS, and SERS retirement and health care benefits.
  •  NEA Member Benefits are more valuable with precious retirement dollars.   You can easily save two to three times the membership cost.   Save on: credit cards and CD’s; home, car, and life insurance; discounts on appliances and travel; and more.   Visit http://www.neamb.com/.
  •  OEA benefits are important, too!  The OEA Educator Access discount program will help you further extend those precious fixed income dollars with discounts from local merchants.  Visit http://www.ohea.org/.
  •  Update those legal documents with the OEA Attorney Referral Service.
    Members receive a 30% discount on real estate, wills and estates, domestic
    relations, consumer protection, and traffic violations.
  •  Planning to substitute?  Don’t give up your NEA $1 million liability protection policy.
  •  Stay in touch with professional developments and your colleagues through
    various NEOEA-R, OEA-R, and NEA-R newsletters, publications, and workshops.
  •  Unlike other educator retiree organizations such as ORTA, we are the only
    organization of retirees affiliated with the OEA and the NEA    .
