LENAWEE CO. — The U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee, led by Chairman Tim Walberg of Michigan, has launched an investigation into the National Education Association.
Lawmakers are questioning whether the union and its benefit arm may have profited from retirement savings plans offered to teachers.
The committee letter cites fees, incentive payments, and other financial arrangements that could pose conflicts of interest in how retirement products are promoted to union members. Lawmakers requested financial records, contracts, and policy documents from the NEA.
Officials say the goal is to ensure transparency and protect the financial well-being of educators.
The NEA has until October 13 to provide documents to the committee.
