NARFE watches out for you in retirement. It's
the only association dedicated to protecting the earned retirement benefits of current and retired federal employees,
their families and survivors. Founded by 14 members in 1921, as of September 2009 it stands at 309,656 mermbers
in 1,437 local chapters. Of these, 24,361 (one in eight members) are active federal employees. Our mission is
to preserve the economic security and well being of federal employees in retirement.
As stated on the NARFE website: "NARFE's
national legislative program is advanced in Congress by a team of registered lobbyists backed by an informed network of grass-root
activists in every state and congressional district, and a member-supported Political Action Committee. Our strong supporters
and years of experience on Capitol Hill and in federal agencies have made NARFE a name respected by members of Congress and
a key player in the federal community." We are your voice before congress on personnel matters.

This website provides our members information, notification
of upcoming events and the status of legislation affecting our earned federal retirement and healthcare benefits.
It also provides prospective members information on the purpose, mission, accomplishments of NARFE, and how

If
you are a retired or active federal employee interested in learning more about NARFE, we invite you to attend
a chapter meeting to meet us and see what we're all about. Additional information is provided in the "Membership"
