Your Association Is Ready To Help

ORTA promotes the interests and welfare of Ohio retired teachers just like you! 

We support our members on important issues like:

  • A voice with legislative issues that will affect pensions
  • Assistance with the Ohio retirement system
  • Access to quality supplemental health benefits -- everything from Long-Term Care to Dental Insurance
  • Member discounts on travel, hearing aids, computers, restaurants, cars and more
  • Please use the form below to renew your membership with ORTA.

Pension Protection

We're the organization guarding your retirement income from legislative changes that could reduce your pension. We've been fighting for years, and this is no time to stop. Pensions could be questioned here and all over the country at any time.

Together, we can defend pensions. ORTA works tirelessly in the Ohio legislature to protect your future pension benefits. An experienced lobbyist, paid by ORTA, provides legislative representation, proposes legislation, obtains sponsors and testifies on behalf of ORTA members at legislative committee meetings.

Access To Benefits

When you retire, you often lose benefits such as dental, vision, and other insurance. Your state benefits, and even Medicare, might not cover you in these areas. In fact, there's no out-of-pocket maximum.

The good news? Your membership gives you access to a wide range of quality insurance plans. As a member, you'll enjoy access to policies designed to protect your medical and financial well-being--everything from Long-Term Care to Dental Insurance to Cancer & Heart coverage. And, thanks to our strength in numbers, you can enroll in the coverage you need at discounted group rates.

Social Opportunities

Looking forward to meeting others and socializing again? Join ORTA now and be ready for future opportunities like nights out with friends old and new, group travel, volunteering, and more. And that's just the beginning. You'll be invited to meetings and other events that will keep you connected to like-minded people.

Research shows that social connection is critical to our mental, physical and emotional health. That's reason alone to join. Become a member today and be among friends.
