If you have heard about NARFE before, we want to encourage you to browse through our web site and, hopefully, join us in the continuous battle to protect our benefits (COLA's, annuities, TSP benefits, tax benefits and, most important, health benefits). 

The South Dakota Federation consists of about 1830 members in 17 chapters located throughout the State of South Dakota.  Our Chapters meet at regular intervals and frequently offers entertaining and instructive programs featuring speakers prominent in the political and business life of the community.  Through membership in local chapters, retirees exchange information of common interest, assist one another in times of need and can widen their circle of friends.
