In our ongoing effort to keep our members and other interested parties informed of possible changes in the RSA pension system, ARSEA is sharing the recent newspaper story and editorial linked below. Though the changes detailed in the article, if passed will apply only to future, newly-hired employees enrolled in the RSA, it is important that you be aware of this trend.
Thus far, ARSEA has been able to protect its members and the benefits they earned from being decreased. In fact, those already retired were the ONLY public employee classification to escape any adjustment in their benefit package during the last legislative session.
We will continue to monitor the situation and, from time to time, share other news and information with you via our ARSEA Alert as we work to ensure that promises made to you as an employee are promises being kept to you as a retiree.
