VA Nurses Pension Issue

This is a NARFE agenda issue and members are asked to notify retired nurses who worked for the VA about important pending legislation regarding their pensions. The reason NARFE members are asked to notify these retired RN's is that the Office of Personnel Management has indicated releasing their names would violate the Privacy Law.  These nurses may be in our chapters, families, friends or  neighborhoods.  You may be the only person to notify these nurses.

In 2002, P.L. 107-135 restored the pensions to the nurses who were still working, but not to those who had retired.  ONE (Organization for Nurses' Equality) is working to restore the pension for the nurses who had retired.  The legislation impacts Registered Nurses who worked any part-time schedules in VA hospitals prior to 1986 and who retired before January 23, 2002.  Theses nurse should call 978-263-4443 or 608-238-078 or access the ONE website:
