Retired and Pre-Retired Membership

NEA/FEA Retired Members continue to receive NEA and FEA publications, maintain eligibility for participation in NEA Member Benefits programs, and remain covered by liability insurance (in the event a retired teacher chooses to substitute teach after retirement). NEA/FEA retired members are also eligible to run for FEA Retired Delegate to the NEA Representative Assembly.

How Do I Join NEA/FEA Retired?

Any educator or person who supports the purposes and programs of the Association and who has retired from DoDEA may join NEA/FEA Retired. To do so, see the enrollment instructions below.

What is NEA/FEA Pre-Retired Membership?

NEA/FEA Pre-Retired Membership is open to any current active member of NEA/FEA regardless of his/her retirement date. This membership allows an individual to enroll in the NEA/FEA retirement program, prior to actual retirement, for a one-time payment during the current school year.

Remember, these are one-time-only dues. Once you have joined NEA/FEA Retired or prepaid your NEA/FEA retired dues, you are automatically a retired member of both organizations for life. Your Pre-Retired membership becomes effective once you retire (Pre-Retired members must continue to pay annual NEA/FEA ACTIVE dues while they are teaching).
