Retirement Program
Preserve your friendships — and your pension security — as a member of the AFSCME Retirees.
When AFSCME members retire from their jobs, they don’t have to retire from the union. They can join the 200,000-member AFSCME Retiree Program and continue to work for dignity and security in the public sector.
With 32 chapters and over 200 local subchapters around the country, the Retiree Program enables retiree members to attend regular meetings and socialize with friends from working days. They also get the latest news on retirement issues: Social Security, for example, and Medicare, as well as public pensions and employer-sponsored retiree health plans.
Included in the low annual dues rate for retiree members are subscriptions to the Retiree Program’s informative national newsletter, PrimeTIME, and AFSCME’s Public Employee magazine.

Why does AFSCME get involved in politics?
Our jobs, wages and working conditions are directly linked to politics. From threatened changes in overtime to privatization to budget cuts, politics at the federal, state and local levels affect public services and workers. Through active participation in the political arena, AFSCME members have a say in policy-making and in electing politicians who support laws that benefit working families. AFSCME is one of the most powerful and politically effective unions inAmerica.
