New Health and Dental Benefits Available NOW for Direct Care Workers and Child Care Providers!

Your Union working for You Hello MSEA Care Division Members - MSEA is excited to announce to you, who do so much to help improve the lives of those you care for, the availability of a dental insurance plan and a limited benefit health insurance option! As members or service fee payers of Local 771 and Kids First at MSEA, you are a prt of the recently formed Care Division. MSEA created the Care Division to help manage and advocate for the needs of similar groups of workers who care for others - direct care workers and child care providers. THE DENTAL PLAN is a comprehensive plan that can cover you alone or you and any combination of your immediate family members (spouse and/or kids)! There are two levels of coverage to choose from. THE HEALTH INSURANCE OPTION is a limited benefit plan. It is not meant to cover catastrophic events but does get you covered for doctor visits, wellness check ups, and a range of diagnostic services. Again, there are two plans to choose from and you can purchase coverage for yourself, you and your spouse, you and your kids, or the whole family! The best part about these plans is that there is no pre-existing condition clause. This means that no member or service fee payer at MSEA is refused coverage. If your family has temporarily lost regular health insurance, this coverage can act as a bridge to avoid being completely uninsured. And this isn't the end. MSEA, Kids First, and Local 771 are fully committed to helping find a solution to America's health care crisis. It's the number one thing our members need. Our goal, and the goal of a wide array of partner organizations all over the country, is to ensure that ALL Americans have access to adequate, affordable health insurance. If you have any questions or are interested in signing up for either of these plans, please call Aymie Walsh, Mike Roland, or Jay Economy at MSEA, 1-800-452-8794. You can also call Aetna and Delta Dental directly to inquire about these plans. Delta Dental's number is 1-800-932-0783. Aetna's number is 1-888-772-9682. Let either insurance know that you are calling for information on the SEIU Voluntary Health Access Trust Plans. These plans are one small step to address the need, now. We need your help to get the rest of the way! If you aren't a full member, become one and talk to others about becoming members of our union. Be a part of the Union Difference! We are truly stronger together! In Solidarity, Helen Hanson President of Local 771 Penni Theriault President, Kids First
