Should you have any questions please contact your local leadership team.

Union Family,

At a meeting with the Postal Service, it was confirmed that the first incentive payment due under the MOU Re: One-time Retirement Incentive, have been cut and should be available for employees to pick up at their last office of record on August 15, 2025. 

According to the MOU a total of $15,000 minus appropriate deductions (taxes, etc.) will be paid. The incentive will be done in two payments:

• $10,000 due August 15, 2025

• $5,000 due August 28, 2026

Also, remember that part-time flexible and part-time regular employees will receive prorated amount. The proration can be found in the MOU that is attached or here:

Also, if employees have not done so or would like to for the payment next year, a form can be completed to have the check forwarded to them.  Further information and a link to the form can be found here: How to Receive One-Time Retirement Incentive Checks | American Postal Workers Union

Thank-you,
