Personal Financial Planning assistance is available at no cost to AEA members. Whether planning for retirement, children's college education or needing to consolidate debts and begin a retirement savings program, members can contact:

These companies have representatives trained to assist members in achieving their financial goals. Tax-Deferred Annuities represent an excellent means for public school employees to achieve their financial and/or retirement goals. Members who select TDA's have the benefit of investing on a BEFORE-tax basis and having the interest earned, accumulate tax-free. Taxes are deferred until you choose to annuitize/take receipt of your invested monies. For more information on TDA options, contact:

• American Fidelity: (800) 688-4421
• VALIC: (800) 892-5558 ext. 87617
• Horace Mann: (870) 308-1513

Members can choose from an insurance policy or a medical reimbursement plan. The insurance policy with American Fidelity provides coverage whether or not you have medical insurance. 

The Cancer Medical Reimbursement Plan (CMRP) requires the member to have a major medical insurance plan. The CMRP will reimburse the member’s primary health insurance plan deductible amount up to $500 per calendar year for cancer and dread disease related expenses. The CMRP will also reimburse any co-insurance or Co-payments the member makes, provided it is a covered expense under your primary health insurance plan (subject to limits in the policy). 

For more information on the insurance policy or medical reimbursement plan, contact:

• Cancer Medical Reimbursement Plan: (877) 472-6722
