About

The Retired State Employees Association (RSEA) is an independent, volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization of retired State of Illinois employees and their survivors. Chartered in 1976, its purpose is to promote and protect the interests of State retirees and their survivors. Since its inception, RSEA has played an active role in protecting and improving the pensions and benefits of State retirees.

If you are a current or retired state employee, RSEA belongs in your present and your future.

If you have worked for the State of Illinois and are qualified to receive benefits from the State Employees Retirement System (SERS) or if you are the spouse or survivor of a retiree and qualify for benefits, you can benefit by membership in RSEA.
