The National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE) serves those who serve and have served the nation. NARFE is the only association dedicated to protecting the earned retirement benefits of federal employees, retirees and their survivors. NARFE's commitment is to secure the future that federal employees have worked to achieve for themselves and their families.

      NARFE was founded by 14 federal workers in 1921. Our mission is to protect the earned rights and benefits of America's active and retired Federal workers. NARFE has become a major force on Capitol Hill and across the nation to protect your Federal Civil Service benefits that you worked so long and hard for.

      NARFE is an effective and highly respected legislative voice of federal workers and retirees. With 50 state federations plus federations in the District of Columbia, the Philippines, Panama and Puerto Rico; and over 1500 chapters, NARFE has a demonstrated record of success on many important issues.

      Members are kept up to date on issues such as federal, state and local legislative developments, judicial actions and regulatory changes through NARFE's monthly magazine Retirement Life, and regular emails.
