If you are retiring at the end of the school year or calendar year here are steps that you should be taking with your district and PSERS:
Request a retirement estimate from PSERS. You can ask for up to two different scenarios (ex: retirement date of June 2025 or December 2026)
Retiring from your job doesn't mean you should retire from PSEA and the important activities of your union. PSEA-Retired offers a wealth of programs, activities, and benefits, while keeping you connected to the people and the profession that are so important to you.
You can also sign up to be a PSEA-Retired member if you are in year one or year 35 of your career - or anywhere in between! The earlier you sign up, the more money you will save on dues.
You can enroll in PSEA-Retired FOR LIFE with a one-time dues payment of $790, or break that into four payments of $197.50 over a two-year period. This is a great way to continue to stay involved and engaged with the work of the association as well as continued use of our member benefits. For more information and to enroll, visit this website.

Why Choose the PSEA Health & Welfare Fund?
The PSEA Health & Welfare Fund is a separate legal entity with the focus of providing benefits to Pennsylvania school employees. It is our goal to provide an opportunity for school employers and employees to purchase competitively priced programs. We understand that both school district and employee budgets are tight. The Fund can provide a tremendous opportunity for significant savings.
The Fund puts customer service as a top priority, and we believe in providing employers and employees with the same high level customer service. The Fund does not get involved in labor/management issues such as negotiating labor contracts or grievances. Our sole purpose is to provide benefits to Pennsylvania school employees.
The Fund works to customize plans to meet specific district needs. The dental, vision, life and disability plans offered by the Fund can be tailored to match the specifics of each district even if they have multiple plans covering multiple groups. Additionally, the Fund can cover all employees including administrators, bargaining unit employees and non bargaining unit employees.
By choosing the PSEA Health & Welfare Fund, districts can optimize savings through the Fund's large purchasing pool, gain the ability to cost out benefit changes, choose self-funded or fully-insured programs, ease the burden on district staff with billing and enrollment functions and receive a high level of customer service including help with potential carriers and/or coverage issues.
