Join MNEA-Retired before Sept. 1, and rest assured that you will be covered by $4 million liability protection and the 3 million member NEA while working in the public schools post-retirement.
Did you know you DO NOT need to be retired to join as a lifetime pre-retired member? Join anytime during your career, pay now, and just let us know when you retire. Your lifetime Retired membership will kick in, so you never lose your benefits.
Choose to join as either of the following:
- Lifetime Member ($500 certified or $380 classified), which can be paid one time, or broken down into either 20 payments over two years or 10 payments over one year. You can join as a lifetime pre-retired member any time during your education career.
- Annual Member ($75 certified or $61 classified). The membership year is Sept. 1-Aug. 31. You would need to renew every year.
You may be retiring from your career in education, but we know that many of you are still living the good fight for public schools. Public education and educators face challenges that require the resolve and support of its members -- all of its members, both active and retired. NEA needs your support, wisdom, and leadership to forge a path forward. Joining Missouri NEA-Retired gives you the opportunity to remain engaged on important issues facing students, education, and educators.
