RPEA E-Mailed News Updates


Frequently RPEA is asked to look into singular issues that come up between our members and the Alaska Retirement System. The results of our investigations are then sent to all members through our e-mail notification system. As some members do not have e-mail, and some members may not see or read the e-mails, the messages are posted here by date and topic.
