As we work to implement NYS mandated preventive measures regarding the recent COVID19 pandemic, we want to assure our members that we will continue to be a resource to you and your families. With that being said, in the best interest of our office staff, the Union and Benefits offices are CLOSED to all public and face-to-face interaction, BUT both offices will remain open with staff on hand Monday through Friday from 8:00AM—4:30PM and are available via phone, email and fax. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we progress through this unprecedented time. Please remain safe and do your due diligence to help stop the spread of this virus!
Union Office Info:
Member Per Cap Dues: we encourage you to pay your monthly per cap dues over the phone using a debit/credit card. You may also mail your payment through the USPS via check or money order. As a last resort, if you would like to drop off a payment, please place in the Benefits mailbox by the front door. Please note that the Union/Training mailbox does not lock!
Benefits Office Info:
Until further notice, all Benefits paperwork (HRA Claims, Pension and Annuity Applications) MUST be mailed in or dropped in our securely locked drop box located outside the front door. This mailbox will be checked regularly throughout the day. We understand reimbursement checks are extremely important and will do our best to continue providing fast and efficient processing of all requests.
