Why wait until retirement to join?
There's no need to wait until retirement to join CEA-Retired and NEA-Retired. You can enroll as a Pre-Retired Subscriber today! CEA-Pre-Retired and NEA-Retired Pre-Retired Subscriber Life Membership is currently available for a one-time payment of only $436.50.

What is a pre-retired subscriber?
A pre-retired subscriber is an active member who prepays his/her life membership in CEA-Retired and NEA-Retired prior to retirement. Any active CEA member who has taught for at least 10 years is eligible.
Pre-retired membership for CEA and NEA affords CEA/NEA Active members of any age the opportunity to purchase both a Prepaid CEA-Retired Life and NEA-Retired Life Membership prior to their retirement. The combined cost of CEA-Retired/NEA-Retired Pre-Retired Subscriber life membership is one-half of the active member's CEA dues for CEA and $200.00 for NEA. Concurrent enrollment is required.

Pre-retired subscribers may attend CEA-Retired and NEA-Retired meetings and conferences. However, because of their representation as Active members, they may not vote in CEA-Retired or NEA-Retired governance elections. Unrestricted CEA-Retired and NEA-Retired Life Memberships commence immediately upon official notification of retirement.

In addition to all CEA and NEA active member publications, NEA-Retired, Pre-Retired and Retired members subscribers also receive the NEA-R's bimonthly publication, NEA Retired, as well as Planning for the Best Years, a comprehensive retirement planning guide and four annual issues of the CEA-Retired BEACON.
