Welcome

The Benton/Franklin School Retirees Association (BFSRA) is the local affiliation to the Washington State School Retirees Association (WSSRA) whose sole purpose to enhance the security and vitality of your retirement years.  If you belong to either TRS, PERS, or SERS retiree plan, we are your primary advocate in the state of Washington for your retirement pension benefits.

We welcome all present members of, as well as any and all future TRS, PERS and SERS retirees to join us, for it is only through our strength in numbers that we can have the greatest positive impact on what happens in Olympia to our pension funds.

We provide pre-retiree, pro-education advocacy and leadership to the Washington State Legislature. We have representatives who work with legislators who impact retirement and pension plans and issues, and we collaborate and advocate with other groups that share our vision, values, and aims.

We sponsor pre-retirement seminars, award substantial scholarships to college students enrolled in their school's college of education, we provide classroom grants to active teachers in local schools and encourage volunteer activities with Washington's school children.

We also provide access to many members-only benefits through the Association Member Benefits Advisors (AMBA). Special insurance rates, travel discounts, and product savings are available to our members.

We consider ourselves educators for life. If you are or have been a certificated or classified school district employee in the state of Washington—from superintendents to school nurses or behavioral psychologists to bus drivers—you are welcome here.
