ARSEA/APEAL represents retirees and employees eligible to retire at both a state and local level. We are a non-partisan, public retiree advocacy group with over 20,000 members whose main purpose is protecting your retirement income.
FOREPAC
FOREPAC is the official PAC of ARSEA/APEAL. It provides individuals concerned with retiree benefits an additional way to legally, ethically and appropriately promote their interested with the AL Legislature
The Foundation
The mission of the ARSEA Foundation is to promote, coordinate and financially support activities and projects dedicated to the improvement of the physical, mental, social, emotional and economic health, knowledge and quality of life for retirees and older Alabamians.
The Alabama Retired State Employees’ Association (ARSEA) was organized in Montgomery on March 6, 1980. The association was formed as an advocate for a strong, stable, solvent retirement system and adequate retirement benefits for state retirees.
The Alabama Public Employees’ Advocacy League (APEAL) is a statewide organization representing state, city, county and public board employees. We work to ensure that promised pension and health insurance benefits are available when our members decide to retire.
ARSEA and APEAL joined forces in 2012 and now, working together, have an even stronger voice. With their combined membership of more than 20,000, ARSEA/APEAL is considered to be among the most influential and respected groups representing active and retired employees in Alabama.
Testimonials
ARSEA/APEAL is working hard every day to ensure the Legislature keeps the long-term promises they made to retirees.
ARSEA/APEAL's Friends of Retirees' and Employees' Political Action Committee is electing candidates who support issues that are important to retirees like us. Unlike other groups, they don't care whether candidates are Democrats or Republicans, they only care if they will stand with retirees. Because of FOREPAC, no other retiree group in Alabama commands the same amount of influence in the committee rooms, chambers and office of the Alabama State House.
During my 38 year career as an employee in the Alabama State House, I saw firsthand which group was actively working for public retirees and producing results. That's why I decided to join ARSEA/APEAL. It is the only group that is passing bonuses, preserving benefits, protecting its members from outside attacks and has the financial soundness of the RSA as it primary focus.
Before retiring in 2013, I worked in the Finance Department under every governor since George Wallace. During those years, there was only one retiree group that consistently pushed for more funding for retiree health insurance coverage. I worked with ARSEA/APEAL before I retired and greatly valued their faithfulness to state retirees so it was natural that I would immediately join their effort upon retirement.
