About the JJC Annuitants Association

The organization was chartered in June, 1995.

The  Joliet Junior College Annuitants Association (JJCAA) is a chapter of the State Universities Annuitants Association (SUAA).  The organization was founded to promote and protect the individual and collective interests and welfare of the JJC annuitants and their survivors by being politically proactive.  Service to Joliet Junior College and the district is also promoted.  JJCAA provides social events for its members and also promotes discussion and participation with other annuitant organizations in the State of Illinois.

Membership

The organization started with 68 members in 1994.  Membership now exceeds 280.

JJCAA logoMembership is open to all employees and retirees of JJC who are eligible for SURS benefits, or are receiving SURS benefits.  Surviving dependents who are eligible for SURS benefits and employees who are on disability and receiving SURS benefits are also eligible to join. Membership in JJCAA also includes membership in SUAA.

President's Message

Jerry Lewis has served as President since 2005 and succeeds John Corradetti, the founding President of the group.

Jerry Lewis

I want to take this opportunity to wish all JJCAA colleagues and friends a very healthy, happy, and prosperous 2012! I hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. We certainly did. Unfortunately, not much has changed in Illinois. Our state is a mess! The four main issues that faced us in 2011 remain in 2012:

$85 billion unfunded pension liability

Pension reform (SB 512)

College Insurance Plan (CIP) in limbo

The strong possibility of House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment No. 5, the super majority amendment, which could be a major challenge to future contractual negotiations

This is a presidential election year with all 177 Illinois legislative seats up for election. This is a very important year for all JJCAA members, as well as those current employees and retirees that have not joined the ranks of JJCAA. Strong numbers are something all legislators and candidates understand. Thirty-two dollars a year is the cost of being a JJCAA member – a phenomenal bargain considering all that is
