Your Union Life Insurance

Active Members Until Retirement    $20,000

In addition, when a member dies, the member?s beneficiary listed on the above policy receives $500 from the Local. The money is given to the beneficiary as soon as  possible after we receive notification of the death.

 Optional Life Insurance

Active members also have the opportunity to buy optional life insurance through the Union from the National Conference On Public Employee Retirement Systems Plan (NCPERS). The cost is $6.00 per pay period. This is an age-based decreasing term life insurance benefit that will be paid to any beneficiary you name if you die from any cause. 

New Members may buy this insurance at the time they join the Union. Current members may buy the insurance during open enrollment periods only. Members who have this insurance when they retire can carry it over. However, members who do not have the insurance when they retire are not eligible to participate after retirement.
