Retired Public Employees
of Alaska

— WHAT WE DO —

The RPEA works hard to monitor and track legislative or administrative issues that would have either a positive or a detrimental impact on your Alaska retirement benefits.

We have been advocating on behalf of public service retirees for more than 25 years using an all-volunteer Executive Board, aided by our committees and their members and our part-time staff.

Find out more about what we do for you and what you can do with us through volunteering.

—    WHY JOIN THE RPEA ?   —

Because Only You Can Protect Your Health and Pension Benefits!

Our mission is to protect the health and pension benefits you worked so hard to earn.

We, the Retired Public Employees of Alaska:

• Proactively monitor health plan changes, legislation, and any funding decisions that may impact or reduce your benefits (including retiree medical, dental / vision / audio, and long-term care benefits).
• Educate and alert members when our constitutionally protected benefits may be impacted.
• Advocate to support or oppose changes to our health plans or pensions in order to assure retirees' constitutionally protected benefits continue. 
• Support a defined benefit retirement system for all public employees.

As an RPEA member, you can help us continue the important work first begun back in 1997, when RPEA Local 4900R was formed by the APEA/AFT with volunteers and initial funding from the APEA. 

Today, the RPEA continues as a volunteer organization in which current active public employees may become associate members of the RPEA, and all public retirees may join as regular, voting members of the RPEA and serve on RPEA committees.
