From The Board – Barb Frank, President and Judy Goodman, Web Chairperson
Great News! Our website is up and running! You should check it out at the same URL, www.intelretiree.com. Our main goals were to have stronger security for the website, include all Intel retiree benefits information in one place on the website, and to make the site easy to use and easy to read. One of the more exciting new pages of information you will find on the site is the Retirement Timeline. This is where all your retiree benefits information are in one place.
We want to thank Intel for supporting this website conversion financially and with the technical support. Now that it is completed, your Intel Retiree Organization website team of volunteers will be maintaining and upgrading the website for you.
Health and Benefits – Cheryl Pruss, Chairperson
We recommend that you visit the Retirement Timeline, under the Intel Benefits tab on our improved website. Here you will find all of the links to all of the information we have from Intel and other sources about your retirement, including websites and phone numbers to help you contact suppliers of services. From topics related to leaving Intel to IRMP/SERMA to discount programs to volunteer matching programs, it’s all here. https://www.intelretiree.com/intel-benefits/retirement-time-line/Volunteer

Does Your Non-Profit know about Intel Involved?
A recent question sent to our mailbox asked if volunteer names are sent along with the Intel Involved matching grant checks. Due to privacy and security concerns, Intel does not include the names of the volunteers reporting the hours matched by the grant. Intel does not explain why the organization is receiving the check, but agreed it was a good idea. A good explanation of the program is found at: http://www.intel.com/about/corporateresponsibility/community/matchgrants.htm. Be sure the non-profits you volunteer for know why they received an Intel Involved Matching Grant Program check. While the non-profit may use the check for any purpose, the goal of the Matching Grant is to help the programs and groups where the volunteer work is performed.
Communications – Randy Williams and Howard High, Chairpersons
