Welcome to Protect Our Benefits, Inc.
Protect Our Benefits, Inc. (POB) is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to protecting and enhancing the health benefits of retirees in the San Francisco Health Service System (HSS) and the pension benefits of retirees in the San Francisco Employees Retirement System (SFERS). As of 2017, the 28,286 retiree members include surviving spouses, qualified domestic partners, and members who sustained an injury or illness that prevented them from performing their duties on disability. As of 2018, HSS members have 28,148 retirees and 9,434 dependents enrolled in member-benefit health plans. We work to strengthen alliances with groups that already share POB’s objectives and to establish new relationships with other groups and individuals that have similar objectives. We are committed to taking the legal and political actions necessary to achieve our goals.
Our Supporters & Contributors
POB’s more than 3,000 supporters and contributors are retired employees of the City and County of San Francisco, San Francisco Unified School District, Community College District and SF Court System. Despite our diverse experiences as employees, we have one common goal as retirees: to protect the health and retirement benefits we have earned over the years.
