Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you’re all doing well on this holiday week. I wanted to pass along some good news – our open enrollment period for both supplemental Life/AD&D and Short-Term Disability Insurance has been extended to January 31, 2025! We will be dropping another round of letters to the membership next week informing them of the extension.

Since the beginning of October, coalition members have purchased almost $250 million in supplemental life insurance, which is a massive number! I have attached some PDFs with the new information and will get each local new materials today with your logos. If there is anything additional (social media graphics, newsletter articles, etc.) that you think would be useful in getting the word out to your members, please let me know and I will put it together for you!

Here is a little bit more information on these offerings:

Supplemental Life/AD&D Coverage through VOYA
For supplemental life and AD&D insurance through VOYA, active members can elect to purchase up to $350,000 in additional coverage (on top of what the union already provides) at low cost, and with no medical exams or questions. This has truly been a game changer for thousands of members and their families, as many of our members struggle to purchase affordable coverage, or any coverage at all. Members must be active to purchase this supplemental coverage, but they can take it with them into retirement up to age 75.

Members can enroll by visiting www.nclenrollment.com or calling (888) 212-7822

Short-Term Disability Coverage through MetLife
Short-term disability coverage though MetLife is available as well, with two levels of coverage available - $250 per week or $500 per week. Members must be active to purchase this coverage. During the first 12 months of coverage, benefits cannot be paid for pre-existing conditions – an injury or sickness for which the member has been treated in the 3 months preceding the effective date of coverage.

Members can enroll by visiting https://www.groupba.com or calling (866) 979-1422

Please let me know if you have any questions, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
