Health Fund

Did you know?

What if I am injured or ill to the extent that I cannot work for an extended period of time?

Contact the Fund Office immediately. You may qualify for the Health Fund's weekly disability benefit. You should be aware that Members cannot receive disability benefits and SUB at the same time as SUB requires that you are available and physically capable of accepting work in covered employment. In addition, you may be eligible for a limited amount of Pension credit. 

If I am unemployed for a long period, how will I know if my health benefits are running out?

If your eligibility terminates, possibly because of a long gap in employment, the Fund Office will notify you within approximately 7-10 days. You can view the hours paid in on your behalf and your health benefit eligibility on the Member's Only section of this Web site.
