The Benton-Franklin School Retirees' Association (BFSRA) is one of the 
State Units of The Washington State School Retirees' Association 
(formerly the Washington State Retired Teachers' Association) is often 
referred to as WSSRA. More than 16,000 members belong to WSSRA. 
WSSRA aims to enhance the security and vitality of your retirement years. 
We welcome all present and future TRS, PERS and SERS retirees. We provide 
pro-retiree and pro-education advocacy and leadership to the 
Washington State Legislature. We have representatives on governmental 
bodies that impact retirement and pension issues, and we collaborate and 
advocate with other groups that share our vision, values, and aims. 
We also sponsor pre-retirement seminars throughout the state, award 
substantial scholarships to future teachers, provide classroom grants to 
active teachers in local schools, and foster volunteer activities with 
Washington's school children. 

WSSRA provides access to many members-only benefits through the 
Association Member Benefits Advisors (AMBA). Special insurance rates, 
travel discounts and product savings are available to our members. 

We consider ourselves educators for life. If you are or have been a 
certificated or classified school district employee in the state of 
Washington—from superintendent to school nurse or behavioral psychologist 
to bus driver—you are welcome at the Washington State School Retirees' Association.
