Pennsylvania State Corrections Officers Association Retired Membership Guidelines

 

The Pennsylvania State Corrections Officers Association recognizes that there are many members dedicated to this organization and what it stands for. The PSCOA recognizes that many current members want to stay involved with the association once they retire. Therefore, as gratitude to those members so dedicated, we have formed the Pennsylvania State Corrections Officers Association Retired Membership Chapter.

 

The following are guidelines for the PSCOA membership who want to stay involved with the association after retirement from the DOC:

• The initial cost of membership will be $25 per year. This will include the opportunity to obtain or retain the PSCOA organizational license plate. It will also include a membership card, organizational patch and newsletter mailings. Eventually the PSCOA should have hats, shirts, stickers and other merchandise that specify a retired member.
• As the organization grows, hopefully the benefits to retirees will also. There may be opportunity for supplemental health care such as eyeglasses or dental. There may eventually be life insurance or disability insurance. The annual membership fee will probably increase should these benefits be provided.
• Those eligible to be part of the retired membership must have been a PSCOA member in good standing for two years prior to retirement.
• PSCOA retirees are not eligible to vote in any PSCOA state or local election, or to hold office at the state or local level.
• PSCOA retirees are eligible to attend and participate in PSCOA functions such as baseball games, golf outings and barbeques.
• Applications will be available to PSCOA members at retirement.
• It should be noted that the information above are just guidelines, and may be changed at anytime by the PSCOA State Executive Board.

 If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, or anything else in regards to the Retired Chapter, please contact your business agent or call the main office.
