CORRE Blog

Welcome to the CORRE blog.
The Coalition of Oak Ridge Retired Employees (CORRE) has established this blog for you - a employee retired from the Y-12 Plant, ORNL, the former K-25 site, Wackenhut, or Bechtel Jacobs. If you are a surviving spouse of a retired Oak Ridge employee or an interested family member, this blog is for you. I think also that current employees of one of the Oak Ridge sites will be interested as they will someday be retired and eligible for the retirement benefits. This blog is intended to allow you the opportunity to stay abreast of the CORRE activities related to your retirement benefits. In addition, it provides a forum for you to ask questions, share opinions, and make comments.

The CORRE Board of Directors has authorized this blog and has tasked me to be its editor. The Board wants you to know what it is doing on your behalf and the Board needs your input to be sure it is working in the right direction.
To help you stay abreast, we will post topics of interest approximately every other week on Friday. We have enlisted several contributors who will write short articles on special topics.

The Board and other retirees would like to hear from you about:

-Your experiences with the the decrease in value of your pension

-Any experience with corespondence with officials about Oak Ridge experiences

-Your experience with medical cost

-Summaries of, and references to, articles about retirement benefits, the cost of living for retirees, and ideas on how to manage on retirement income
If you have information, comments, or opinions that you want to share, just send them to me at davemason@corre.info. I will review them and post them as soon as possible. If I think it may not be appropriate for posting, I wll inform you in a return E-mail.
If you have a question, just E-mail it to me; if I cannot answer the question, I will find someone who can answer and post the answer.
As we start this blog, I have only one rule for you -you must identify yourself to me in your E-mail. However, if you tell me in your E-mail, I will not identify you when I post your submittal.

You can of course comment at any time on any of the posts in this blog.

So please use this blog to keep yourself informed and also to let other retirees know how you feel.
