​

WHY BECOME A PRE-RETIRED SUBSCRIBER?

  • Signifies your commitment to stay involved in education after you retire from the schoolhouse.

  • Locks in your FEA/NEA Retired membership at 2022 rate which will never increase for you.

  • Guarantees the continuation of any NEA insurance and/or loans.

WHY NOW?

By enrolling now, you forego any future increase in FEA/NEA Retired dues.  Saves you money in retirement because you are a paid up FEA/NEA Retired member once you do retire.  Your one-time enrollment fee covers your membership for life.  Upon your retirement you will be obligated to ONLY pay the dues of the retired local of which you become a member.  Currently PEAR members who are enrolled as FEA/NEA Lifetime members pay annual dues of $12.00 as opposed to PEAR annual members who pay FEA/NEA dues plus local dues of $12.00 (annual dues are subject to change every year).  If you move, your membership goes with you to your new location!

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE AT WHICH I COULD RETIRE AS A LIFETIME MEMBER?

You can take advantage of your paid up FEA/NEA Lifetime members ship any time after you reach the age of 45 years!

WHAT IS THE CURRENT ENROLLMENT FEE?

Your one-time enrollment fee now would be $280 for ESP’S or $400 for teachers.  That’s it forever regardless of any increase in FEA/NEA dues in the future. 

HOW DO I ENROLL?

Copy and complete the enrollment form below and send it with a check made payable to PEA-Retired to: 

PEA-Retired

730 E Davidson Street

Bartow, FL 33830
