Every Long Island local: benefits and links

Pick your county and your local from the menus. You see its website, what it publishes about benefits, and every NYSUT, AFT, NEA or CSEA program its members can use, each with the official link. 211 NYSUT locals and 9 CSEA entries.

General information, not legal, financial or insurance advice. Programs change. Before you buy or enroll, open the official page and ask your local. Facts were checked Nov 9, 2026. Goal100 is not part of any union, is not endorsed by any union and earns nothing from these programs.

2. Benefits at a glance, by affiliation

Which union family your local belongs to decides which programs you can use. NYSUT locals are part of NYSUT, which is affiliated with both the AFT and the NEA. CSEA units are part of CSEA Local 1000, AFSCME. Some benefits are free; many are paid programs at member rates.

Plain summary of the official pages (checked Nov 9, 2026). Your contract decides your health plan; the union programs are extras.

3. How to read a local's summary

  1. What the local publishes is only what its own website showed when we opened it. "Not listed" does not mean "none": many locals share benefit details only with members. Ask your building rep.
  2. Benefits every member gets come from the statewide and national unions. Tap a box to open it; every program links to the official page.
  3. Prices and offers change. We quote a discount only when the official page states it, word for word.
  4. Tip: your NYSUT ID is on your card or at nysut.org/memberid; your CSEA ID at cseany.org.
