RSA Retirees Receiving Unsolicited Calls
Recently, some of our retirees have been contacted to set up an in-person appointment to go over their benefits. RSA does not contact members regarding any type of retirement review via email or phone unless first requested by the member. It is important to protect your personal information. If you have questions about your retirement, please contact the RSA directly at 877.517.0020. If you are a member of an association, such as the Alabama Education Retirees Association (AERA) or the Alabama Retired State Employees Association (ARSEA), you may be contacted about benefits specific to that association. For your safety, get all information in writing and verify it with your member association before discussing any personal information with someone you do not know.
