Are Your Current Benefits Enough?

  Short-Term Disability (STD)

The current Local 278 Health Plan provides our Members with $350 per week (less taxes) for 26 weeks total. Is that enough for your household? This only covers approximately 35% of what the average Local 278 Member brings home for a 40 hour work week and leaves you with a big income gap/deficit!

*Apprentices and Members enrolled in the Sub Health Plan have no income replacement protection if they can’t work due to illness or injury

  Long-Term Disability (LTD)

Local 278 Members currently receive $0 in long term disability benefits after the Local 278 Health Plan (short-term disability) ends. This puts 100% of your income at risk!

  Life Insurance

The current Local 278 Death Benefit Fund may pay enough to cover burial expenses (if you’re participating & it would be taxed).
