Big changes coming for retiree newsletters
NYSUT retiree council newsletters have officially gone digital.
Starting this faII, unless you opt-in to receive a paper copy, your RC newsletter will no longer be mailed to your home.
The change is estimated to save over $100,000 in printing and mailing costs.
“If you still want a paper newsletter mailed to your home, you need to let us
know,” said Ron Gross, NYSUT second vice president, whose office coordinates retiree issues. “RC newsletters are already available at nysut.orB/renews. However, beginning September of 2025, NYSUT will only send print RC newsletters to retirees who still want a hard copy. It is important for all retrees to inform us if they prefer to have the printed copy and/or be notIfied via email that their latest RC newsletter is available online. It is our goal to use this savings to help retiree councils find alternate ways to connect with our members and increase engagement.”
NYSUT encourages all retirees to visit the RC newsletter delivery option portal at nysut.org//rcnewsoptln to select the delivery method you prefer. You’ll need your
‘newsletter code,’ the seven-digit number printed on your newsletter’s address panel, or your NYSUT member ID, to enter the portal and make your selection,
Gross explained.
Retirees can also email, call or mail NYSUT Retiree Services if they want a printed copy or to be notified when new newsletters are posted on the site. Send your full name, mailing address, email address, phone
number and local.from which you retired and indicate your preferences:
