MISSION STATEMENT
The Retired Employees of Alameda County (REAC) is a non-profit corporation and the largest independent group of Alameda County retired employees. REAC is organized for the exclusive purpose of serving retired employees and beneficiaries.
REAC's efforts and achievements include:
Protecting the Supplemental Retiree Benefit Reserve (SRBR) against attempts to divert the fund from its legal purpose of providing cost of living increases, medical, dental and other benefits to retirees and beneficiaries.
Assisting retirees and beneficiaries with any problems they might have in obtaining
medical benefits/reimbursements.
Assisting survivors in the transfer of benefits to them after the death of a retired spouse or relative.
Providing assistance and representation to and for the members whenever necessary
in matters relating to service and retirement, issuing and distributing information
relating thereto and publicizing the same.
Maintaining a strong and effective voice before the Retirement Board as well as the
Board of Supervisors.
Participating in the California Retired County Employee Association (CRCEA), an
organization that works for retirees statewide and in Sacramento.
Retirees and beneficiaries must remain vigilant to maintain the retirement system on
which we depend. We need a strong organization and unanimity if we are to continue to
have a powerful and effective voice.
