Retiree Legislative Issues

There are issues at the national level that can have positive or negative impact on us as retirees so it is critical to watch what is happening with bills in Congress. The National Retiree Legislative Network (NRLN) in Washington D.C. is a non-partisan, grassroots watchdog organization of which DEAR is a member.  Currently Bob Tompkins, past-president of DEAR serves as the Vice-President and Treasurer of NLRN.

Representing more than 2 million retirees from nearly 200 different U.S. corporations and public entities, NRLN members work to preserve the retirement benefits earned during  many years of employment through meeting with their  U.S. Congressional members across the country in their home states as well as meeting with these representatives in Washington D.C. twice a year at sponsored NRLN fly-in meetings. Your DEAR board members attend these fly-ins. Should you have any questions about the process of the fly-in and issues being addressed that you want known to your elected officials, please contact a member of the DEAR board.
