NEA Member Assistance Program
Receive help if the unexpected happens.
NEA Member Benefits takes its role as a member advocate very seriously. In addition to providing financial, insurance, professional development, travel, and discount programs and services, it is an important part of our mission to assist members in times of need.
Whether members are facing financial challenges such as non- renewals, layoffs or salary cuts, or experiencing devastating losses due to a natural or other major disaster, we have resources available to help. Our Member Assistance Program offers personal assistance, online tools and information and temporary financial accommodations for NEA program participants. (Note: You must maintain membership in the Association to be eligible.)
