Free Supplemental life insurance available

Trying times can often leave us worrying about the future or all the “what ifs” that come along with uncertainty. I’m forwarding this offer to the membership not to cause unnecessary panic but to help ease your mind. It’s not uncommon for our members to put their families before everything else, including themselves. This is one additional layer of protection if the unthinkable happened. This does not replace your union death benefit offered through the BPPA it just further enhances your overall benefits. If you have questions or have not assigned a beneficiary for that policy please get that done ASAP- contact Marc Irvine at the union hall.

The supplemental offer is as follows:

MassMutual’s HealthBridge program
