Associate Membership is available to persons currently employed by the federal government who are contributors under the aforementioned superannuation acts and are within seven years of retirement.

Rights and Privileges

As an FSNA London Branch member you will receive the "ON GUARD," our national quarterly magazine, regular London Branch reports and other periodic communications, and will have access to information on your pension, health and dental benefits. You will also receive updated versions of our estate-planning workbook "You and Your Survivors" and will be eligible for various member discounts and services. Advice on the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP) and bereavement support services are also available. Regular members are also entitled to take part in Branch elections, to hold elected office, to participate on Branch committees and other volunteer work and to attend and participate with voice and vote at Branch general meetings. Regular members may also apply to be selected as delegates to the Association's annual Congress (Convention).

Associate members have access to the full range of services and discounts enjoyed by regular FSNA members, but are not entitled to vote at Branch meetings nor serve as delegates to the annual Congress.  

Membership Dues and Methods of Payment

For Regular members: Annual membership dues for Regular members are $34.20 (single membership) or $$44.40 (member and spouse/partner). As a convenience to our members, your dues may be deducted at $2.85 (single) or $3.70 (double) from your monthly pension through our Dues Deduction at Source (DDS) program. Payment of dues by Direct Deduction is a safe and reliable method of payment since payments are processed by Treasury Board. Alternatively you may pay by annual cheque.

For Associate members: Annual dues for Associate members are $15 per year, payable by cheque. Most importantly, you will be supporting the Association's research and advocacy efforts in pension, health and dental care and other benefits which will be so important in your future retirement years.
