Serving NALC's retired members

NALC's Retirement Department assists retired letter carriers regarding their benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS). The department also provides help and advice to survivors of retired letter carriers. The current NALC director of retired members is Ernie Kirkland.

While active letter carriers will find the CSRS and FERS annuity estimates useful along with the general information in our NALC retirement publications, they should contact their local personnel office for specific answers to their questions or when preparing for retirement (see Counseling)
