What are the benefits of NAPS membership?

If you need a reason for joining NAPS, here are three: representation, information, and opportunity. Over 27,000 NAPS members have representation where it counts–at Postal Service Headquarters and on Capitol Hill. Whether the issue is pay, benefits, or working conditions, you have a qualified group of professional advocates working on your behalf, especially in times of real need. or approved cases, NAPS’ Disciplinary Defense Fund provides a trained advocate for members facing removal, reduction in grade, and postal financial indebtedness (Debt Collection Act).From the EAS employee’s perspective, members also receive information on legislation, postal policy, and ways of achieving your career goals. Area training seminars are held on a variety of topics. Our annual legislative training seminar in Washington teaches grass roots legislative techniques and provides information on bills of interest to members. Perhaps most important of all, NAPS members have the opportunity of becoming better informed and more efficient, while making the USPS a better place to work. NAPS exists to raise the standard of efficiency, to widen the field of opportunity and to improve the quality of the work environment for those members who make the Postal Service their career. You may join NAPS by completing a Form 1187, authorizing dues withholding, and returning it to your local branch officer. Be a part of a dynamic organization that works for you.  Complete your Form 1187 today.

How do I know what local NAPS branch I’m affiliated with?

  • NAPS members are automatically affiliated to a branch, local or state, based on their USPS finance number.

    If a USPS finance # is not already affiliated with a local branch, then that office will be affiliated with the State branch per the NAPS National Constitution & Bylaws. In most cases, the NAPS database affiliates members appropriately based on their USPS finance #.

    Local NAPS branch officers review their monthly membership reports and contact will contract NAPS headquarters if changes or inquiries are needed.  For example, the name of an active branch member may disappear from the local membership report because they had a USPS finance # change that affiliated the member to a different NAPS branch.

    Sometimes a member’s office of physical domicile is different from their employing office.  If so, a member is eligible to fill out an Exception Form to request affiliation with the NAPS branch located in their domicile location.  The form must be submitted to the respective NAPS Area V.P., who will investigate the request and send it to NAPS HQ for concurrence by the entire Executive Board.

    Exception Forms are available for download in the Members Only section of our website.
