Pension Protection
We're the organization guarding your retirement income from legislative changes that could reduce your pension. We've been fighting for years, and this is no time to stop. Pensions could be questioned here and all over the country at any time.
Together, we can defend pensions. SERO works tirelessly in the Ohio legislature and at the pension system to protect your future pension benefits. SERO representatives attend pension and legislative meetings and educates members on pending legislation and issues or concerns. SERO educates legislators on SERO members issues and concerns at the state and federal levels.
Access To Benefits
When you retire, you often lose benefits such as dental, vision, and other insurance. Your state benefits, and even Medicare, might not cover you in these areas.
The good news? Your membership gives you access to a wide range of quality insurance plans. As a member, you'll enjoy access to policies designed to protect your medical and financial well-being--everything from life insurance to Medicare supplement plans. And, thanks to our strength in numbers, you can enroll in the coverage you need at discounted group rates.
