HSTA Retirement Specialists offer free seminars to help HSTA members who are within five to 10 years of retirement.

The sessions will address questions like: Which ERS Pension option do I take? How do I maximize my Social Security benefit? Do I have enough put away for retirement? Do I need long-term care insurance?

Our fall Oahu sessions are expected to fill up quickly, so please register soon. We are still planning these seminars for neighbor island members. 

RSVP for a meal courtesy of the NEA Retirement Program and HSTA. You may bring your spouse or a guest who is also close to retirement. We apologize we are unable to accommodate children. This is a benefit for HSTA members, but no HSTA monies will be used for this event.
