NATIONAL ACTIVE AND RETIRED FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
NARFE is the only organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the earned pay, retirement and healthcare benefits of federal employees, retirees and survivors. Founded by 14 members in 1921, NARFE has advocated tirelessly in support of ALL federal employees and retirees before the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), members of Congress and the White House.
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 (PAC).” 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 the NARFE National website, www.narfe.org, you’ll find the status of legislation affecting the earned retirement and healthcare benefits of federal employees, retirees and their survivors. It also provides prospective members with information on the purpose of NARFE, its mission and accomplishments, and how to become a member of the NARFE family.
This website provides our members with information and notification of upcoming events.
If you are an active (current) or retired federal employee interested in learning more about NARFE, we invite you to explore this website and the links we’ve provided. If you’re interested in attending a local NARFE chapter meeting to meet us and see what we’re all about, click on “Chapter Pages” to find a chapter meeting near you.
