Member Benefits

Educators spend their own money on materials, classroom decorations and supplies. To help you save money, Florida Education Association (FEA), our parent organization, and our national affiliates — AFT and NEA — have partnered with merchants you know and trust to provide discounts year-round.

These programs are a part of our commitment to helping our members live the American Dream — by providing members solutions that improve their lives, allowing them to focus on supporting their students.

Follow FEA Member Benefits on Facebook for up-to-date info on existing benefits and limited-time offers.

The benefits you get as part of your local union membership (Not a member? Join today!):

  • The FEA/Access card delivers savings of up to 50% off at more than 350,000 premier shops, restaurants, hotels, retailers and more – across the country and even right in your own neighborhood!
  • MyDeals is the FEA/Access mobile app (Google Play and Apple App Store) and gives you show-your-phone discounts at 250,000 places.
  • AFT+, the American Federation of Teachers benefit program, offers financial, insurance and travel discounts and member services.
  • Many of AFT’s member benefits can be accessed via the Union Plus app (Google Play and Apple App Store).
  • NEA Member Benefits also offers members-only insurance programs, financial services and discounts designed to meet your ever-changing needs.
  • NEA Educators Employment Liability Program provides members with protection from personal financial liability stemming from employment-related lawsuits. NEA supports state “hold harmless” legislation which requires that the employer pay for your defense or related damages in case you are sued. However, since this is not law in Florida—and because the liability potential can be so serious for individuals—NEA provides all UFF members with professional liability insurance through the NEA Educators Employment Liability (EEL) Program.
  • UFF members have access to two different referral programs for legal assistance for non-employment related matters: the NEA Attorney Referral Program, and the AFL-CIO’s Union Plus Legal Program. Both programs screen and pre-select attorneys throughout the state to consult and/or provide select services to UFF members at a substantial discount. Details regarding instructions for each Legal Referral Program for members can be found HERE.
    • Contact your UFF-LRS for questions or comments about any of the legal services programs available to UFF chapters and members. Please also feel free to contact the UFF office by phone at 850-224-8220, or by e-mail at [email protected].

In addition to our state and national benefit programs, UFF/FEA members benefit from our ongoing relationship with a team of partners:

  • NTA Life provides supplemental health and life insurance products and services to educators.
  • Creative Benefits for Educators is owned by the locals of UFF/FEA and was created to make it easy for teachers and school employees to find the best insurance, retirement and financial programs available.
