A new section has been added to the FEDHub Tutorials page – a Frequently Asked Questions section, or FAQs for FEDHub! This page will serve NARFE members who are new to FEDHub, or don’t use it very often, or those who have questions they can’t find answered anywhere else. If you have a question about FEDHub you want answered, use the Contact Webmaster form at the bottom of any page.
CAB Documents Updated
The CAB Important Links page lists three new documents – the 2/10/25 CAB Requests, the 2/07/25 Backlog Issues, and the 1/13/25 Tasks. These documents are updated on a monthly basis, and reflect the activities of the NARFE Configuration Advisory Board, which meets once a month on the second Monday. The CAB Meeting Summaries page has updated meeting notes from January 13, 2025. NARFE members are urged to keep up to date with the latest technology information from NARFE by reviewing these pages monthly.

NARFE Website Video Tutorial
CAB videos are a treasure for NARFE members. This one introduces the NARFE website in 2021. Although much has changed, much remains the same. See more videos at the CAB YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@narfecab/
Chapter vs Federation Communities
Important distinctions exist between FEDHub chapter and federation communities, and these differences are especially important to explain the difference between sending and receiving emails from a chapter or a federation. Chapter emails go to everyone IN the chapter, and no one else. Federation emails go to everyone in the federation community, which may not include everyone in the federation, and may include others who belong to other federations.
Find Information About Your State
NARFE resources inform the public of where federal employees and retirees live, and where we work. A shared document lists every state and gives a numerical picture of the federal workforce. NARFE members can find even more information on the Member Tips and Tutorials page.
Send Email to FEDHub Communities
NARFE FEDHub Chapter communities allow the Community Administrator to send an email to every member of the chapter with an email address registered with NARFE, and this new video tutorial shows how easy it is.
WEP/GPO REPEALED!
The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) have finally been REPEALED! Thanks to NARFE, our advocacy department, our members and the outpouring of legislative support that united to finally remove this burden from the backs of federal annuitants and employees. A forty year fight has been won. Let us celebrate together.
Microsites List UPDATED
The Configuration Advisory Board (CAB) of NARFE announces that the list of published NARFE-hosted microsites has grown to 51 – 32 for chapters and 19 for federations. The filtered list, with links to each site, is available for download.
