MAR — Your Next Step After Retirement

All services below are available to you for only $3.00 per month membership fee!

We are finding that in today’s world many retirees do not know where to turn for information. MAR’s purpose is to be a resource and represent the interests of Maine public service retirees. All the Board of Directors are MAR members who understand the issues facing retirees who are diligently working on your behalf. When you contact us, a real person answers the phone. We are here to assist you with:

  • Questions about current and proposed public service Maine legislation

  • Questions about your MainePERS pension

  • Questions about your retiree health insurance

  • Access to dental/vision insurance

  • Answers to technology questions (free of charge)

  • Resolving issues with State or Federal agencies

  • Information about available programs and services for retirees in Maine

MAR advocates with our State Legislature and Senators and with our Congressional delegations for policies that will benefit you. MAR is an active participant at the State level in groups that focus on the income, health, employment, and housing needs of older Mainers. Our message is that public service retirees are a valuable resource, who still have much to offer society and still have and want a voice. MAR is here to make that happen.

MAR understands the challenge of rising out-of-pocket health care costs. The cost of inflation is increasing at a rate higher than we have seen in years.

MAR helps by offering:

  • Advocacy for your needs

  • Group dental/vision insurance

  • Free technology services

  • Retirement financial planning through various organizations

  • Discounts at local business (by location)

  • Free photocopies

  • Free notary services

  • Testifies, in person or by letter, on Legislation effecting our members.

The dues and contributions to Maine Association of Retirees are not tax deductible as charitable contributions. However, they may be deductible under other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code; please consult your tax accountant.
