Issues and Benefits Meetings Are Back for 2022!
We are excited to announce this year’s series of “Issues & Benefits” meetings coming to your District! The meetings, which are held in conjunction with the legislative session, will focus on the happenings in the Alabama State House, Bonus legislation (SB11) and your retirement benefits. Also, ARSEA/APEAL’s newly implemented 2 in 2022 recruitment campaign will be explained. In addition, SEIB Advisors, RSA representatives and others will also be on hand to provide answers to questions you may have.
Members of the Alabama House and Senate will be invited to attend, as well as local elected officials. This provides an excellent opportunity to hear firsthand from those voting on measures that could affect the benefits you earned through a career in public service. Make plans to come share your thoughts on current issues facing public retirees and employees eligible to retire with those that represent you!
We hope you will spread the word and invite fellow retirees in your area to attend and receive an update - not only on our legislative representation on your behalf, but also the benefits you receive as either a member of ARSEA/APEAL or by virtue of your state/local government retirement.
Meetings will have different start times, so please reference the schedule for your district’s meeting location and time. There is NO cost to attend and meetings will last about 1 hour.
Refer to the next issue of the January/February issue of the ARSEA Advantage Magazine (arriving in your mailbox in late January) for pre-registration information or call 334-834-9116/800-844-7732 to register by phone. You may also register by emailing your name, guest's name and phone number to the ARSEA/APEAL Office.
