Why Retirees Should Stay Connected with AFGE

Your service didn’t end when you retired—and neither does your voice. By remaining an AFGE member, you continue to protect the benefits you earned and help safeguard the future for those who follow.

As a retiree member, you can:

• Protect your hard‑earned benefits. AFGE continues to fight for strong pensions, Medicare, Social Security, and retiree healthcare. Your membership strengthens our legislative advocacy and ensures retirees are never left out of the conversation.
• Keep access to valuable member benefits. Enjoy exclusive discounts on insurance, dental and vision plans, travel, and other services that help stretch your retirement dollars.
• Stay part of a powerful community. Retirees play a vital role in mentoring, volunteering, and supporting current federal workers. Your experience and leadership help shape fair policies and defend workplace rights.
• Ensure your years of service continue to matter. By staying engaged, you help preserve the legacy of federal service and ensure that the issues affecting retirees remain front and center.

Remaining an AFGE member is more than a benefit—it’s a way to stay connected, stay protected, and continue making a difference for all government employees.

Dues for retirees are only $35 PER YEAR while retaining all the rights of regular membership.  Be sure to stop into the AFGE Office before your last day to ensure we have all your contact information and transition your account.
