Whether you have just retired or been retired for many years, thank you for your many years of dedicated service. As a NYSUT retiree, you can enjoy the benefits of dozens of programs and services endorsed by NYSUT Member Benefits.
Our mission is to make available important insurance, legal and financial programs along with real discount opportunities to help save on everyday purchases. Many of our endorsed programs include value-added benefits available exclusively to retiree and in-service members.
Member Benefits offers crucial insurance programs, legal & financial services and numerous shopping, travel & personal programs -- including our MB Discounts & Deals program! Through MB Discounts & Deals, you can save up to 50% at more than 1 million locations on restaurant dine-in or take-out, hotels, flights, car rentals, and much more.
Participation in our endorsed programs also offers the added protection of having a trusted advocate on your side. Member Benefits staff take great pride in supporting you with any questions or concerns that may arise.
Our Retiree Quick Guide offers a snapshot of the many endorsed programs and services available to NYSUT retirees along with other helpful information.
TRANSITIONING FROM IN-SERVICE EMPLOYMENT TO RETIREMENT
Taking the time to plan ahead will help to make the stressful transition from in-service work to retirement an easier process. Please note the following information if you are currently enrolled in one or more Member Benefits-endorsed program(s) or would like to do so in retirement:
If Your Local has a Retiree Chapter: You are encouraged to maintain membership and pay chapter dues to that local to continue membership in NYSUT and our national affiliates, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and National Education Association (NEA).
If Your Local does NOT have a Retiree Chapter: You will continue your membership with NYSUT, AFT, and NEA through the Retiree Council in your geographic area.
