Join HASSRA

You can enjoy all the benefits of HASSRA if you currently or previously worked for the Department of Health & Social Care or the Department for Work and Pensions or one of their executive agencies or contractors working on departmental business.

Eligibility now includes NHS Staff and anybody who works in the same place as any qualifying employees.

If you have been a member of HASSRA in the past, but your membership has lapsed, you can join HASSRA again.

Payment

Subscription payments are taken by monthly deduction from your salary or pension if you:

• are a serving, including casual, employee of the Department of Health and Social Care, Department for Work and Pensions, Food Standards Agency, Health & Safety Executive, or any of these organisations' Executive Agencies, Arms-Length Bodies or qualifying Contractors; or
• are a retired employee of a qualifying employer who is in receipt of a Civil Service Pension.

Subscription payments are taken by monthly direct debit or annually by credit/debit card if you:

• work for a qualifying employer that does not collect subscriptions directly from salary (eg. G4S staff on DWP premises, agency staff in DHSC); or
• work for a local authority and are co-located with staff from a qualifying employer e.g. DWP, DHSC, FSA; or
• work for a Government Department e.g. HMRC and are co-located with staff from a qualifying employer e.g. DWP, DHSC, FSA; or
• work for an NHS Trust; or
• have ceased to be eligible to pay by salary because you are no longer employed by a qualifying employer and do not yet receive a Civil Service Pension.
