NRLN

The National Retirees Legislative Network (NRLN), based in Washington, D.C., is the only nationwide organization solely dedicated to representing the interests of retirees and future retirees.

Formed in 2002, the NRLN’s endeavors to secure federal legislation to protect retirees’ employer-sponsored pensions and benefits in addition to keeping Social Security and Medicare strong.

The NRLN is a non-partisan, grassroots coalition of 30 retiree associations and individual members from 120 corporations and public institutions who live in all 50 states and practically all Congressional districts.

The NRLN represents more than 2 million retired men and women seeking to preserve the retirement benefits they earned during their many years of employment.

Your TelCo Retirees Association, Inc., is an active member and strategic partner in the NRLN. Our President is on the Board of Directors of the NRLN and plays a key role in their efforts.

The NRLN Agency is continuing to be responsive to NRLN Grassroots Network Members who have stated in NRLN surveys that the NRLN should inform them of health care insurance plans. Through a new website and new partner, Mature Health Center, the NRLN Agency is making access available to premium quotes on 2012 insurance plans for health care, prescription drugs, long-term care, and dental discounts. There are Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) plans and health care plans for pre-age-65 individuals and family members.

Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) plans help pay some of the health care costs that Medicare doesn’t cover. A participant in Medicare may change his or her Medigap plan at any time. The enrollment period for a 2012 Medicare Part D prescription drug plan or a Medicare Advantage plan is October 15 to December 7, 2011. Because the federal government is reducing the subsidy that it pays to Medicare Advantage plans, the NRLN Agency has elected not to offer them.
