Prepare for Life Events

The purpose of this guide is to help you organize your personal and financial information in one location so your survivors will have the information they will need to handle your affairs upon your death.

While one’s death is a difficult topic to discuss, reviewing this information with your family will help them understand the steps they will need to take.

Any questions that come up can also be addressed ahead of time.

The Challenge of a Retiring Generation

As the Baby Boomer generation steps into retirement, the federal budget faces unprecedented pressure.

Advocacy in Action

NARFE’s vigilant efforts have successfully countered Congressional moves to diminish our benefits so far. But the fight isn’t just defensive; it’s also proactive.

The organization has championed improvements, such as intensively advocating for Premium Conversion. Such advocacy requires immense time, energy, and financial resources.

Our dues are crucial; they empower our National staff to continue this vital work.

Championing Federal Employees: A Century of Advocacy

For a century, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) stands unparalleled in its commitment to the welfare of federal workers and retirees.

Providing invaluable guidance and robust advocacy, NARFE is the go-to authority for federal employees, Capitol Hill, the executive branch, and media outlets.
