  membership dues as the retired member may specify in writing filed  with
  the comptroller for the payment of such employee organization membership
  dues  and  premiums for employee organizations sponsored group insurance

  mass-merchandised  automobile  and  homeowners'  insurance  policies for
  retired members of such collective negotiating unit. Deductions for such
  dues and premiums  shall  not  be  authorized  for  any  other  employee
  organization  or  group  except  by  express  written  approval  of such
  appropriate certified employee organization.
