RGEA: New Name, Same Mission.

Many of us have been using “RGEA” in conversation for years, so we’re now making it official. We are pleased to introduce a shorter name and a new look for the association.

Press Release: RGEA Announces Rebranding

The association, which works to advance and protect the interests of North Carolina’s retired state and local government employees and their families, will now operate as the Retired Government Employees Association (RGEA).

The Road to COLA

Potentially achieving more regularly optimistic forecasts for COLAs will require changes, including adopting asset allocations that align with our higher-performing, well-funded, fiscally conservative to moderate peers.

RGEA 2025 Advocacy Agenda

With the long session just beginning, the RGEA lobby team is already working to
ensure that government retirees are remembered in the new biennial budget for 2025.

From the Capitol: An Advocacy Update

There was early optimism that with the Office of State Budget Management reporting a $987 million surplus, some vehicle for budgetary items would go through; however, none of that came to fruition in 2024.

We’ve Moved!

NCRGEA has moved office locations!

 

Our new address is:

NCRGEA

3737 Glenwood Ave.

Suite 150

Raleigh, NC 27612

Our new office space is great, but our efforts to forward our USPS mail haven’t gone as smoothly as we’d hoped and planned.

If you recently mailed your NCRGEA membership renewal using our return envelope, it may get returned to you with a yellow sticker or the message, “insufficient address.” Here are several options to send in your renewal dues:

  1. Re-address the envelope with the new address below, and mail it again. (This will require a new postage stamp.)
    NCRGEA
    3737 Glenwood Ave.
    Suite 150
    Raleigh, NC 27612

  2. Call us at 919-834-4652 or 1-800-356-1190 during office hours to make your dues payment by credit or debit card.

  3. Make your payment online at Membership Form – NCRGEA.

If you have not yet made your payment, please use one of the options above. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience! If you have questions, please give us a call at 919-834-4652 or 1-800-356-1190. Our staff will be happy to help you.

Kind regards, and happy holidays!

Our office will be closed for the holidays from December 24 through January 2.
