Utilization of Funds and Changes to Programs
The Collective Bargaining Agreement between CWA/IBEW and Verizon requires the Company to fund the programs enacted by the Work and Family Committees at $1.4 million, per year, each August, including through 2025. During the Covid-19 pandemic the utilization of the programs understandably declined, resulting in a surplus of funds available to the Committees to allocate towards programs. The Committees took several actions to deal with the surplus. We expanded on the number of programs to allow for more Members to participate by adding a Health and Wellness benefit, a Drivers’ Education benefit, and a College Book Reimbursement. We also didn’t lose sight of the mission of the fund, which is to help our Members with work/life balance issues. With that in mind, the Committees increased the maximum allowed amounts for reimbursement under the Dependent Care and Summer Camp programs. All of these actions helped get the money where it belonged – to the participants in these programs. Due to the popularity of these programs, we no longer have a surplus of funds and must make some changes: • The Dependent Care Reimbursement Fund (DCRF) will revert back to a $150 maximum per family, per week beginning in June 2025. • Additionally, DCRF reimbursements for June and July will not be processed until August with a likely payout in September (please continue to stay current with your applications for reimbursement). • The Health and Wellness program is being evaluated and may provide a yearly reimbursement instead of the current semi-annual reimbursements. , • Summer Camp flyer will be distributed in the near future. • All other programs are under review. We will continue to do our best to make the proper decisions to utilize the funds available to us in an equitable and appropriate manner.

DISTRICT 1 TOWNHALL CALL

The 2025 Annual Open Enrollment Dates are as follows:
October 8, 2024 to October 17, 2024 – (these dates are for Active employees and Retirees)
This is your opportunity to review your benefits and make any changes to your benefits.
Retirees are urged to make any changes during the annual enrollment period; however they continue to have “Anytime Enrollment”. When a retiree makes a change outside of the Annual Enrollment period, the change is effective the first of the month following a 30 day period. An exception to the “Anytime Enrollment” for retirees is for those retirees with a NCSD after August 2, 2008 who chose to enroll in the HRA option. Those retirees must remain in the HRA option for the 2025 plan year unless they have a qualifying life event.
Most 2024 elections and designations automatically carry over into 2025 Annual Enrollment. Members who want to stay with their current elections for medical, dental, vision and AD&D life insurance plan without any changes don’t need to do anything.
If you have a Qualifying Life Event between open enrollment and the end of the year, you will need to make changes on BenefitsConnections for both 2024 and 2025. Examples of a Qualifying Life Event are adding a spouse if you get married, adding a child when there is a birth of a new baby etc.
Annual Enrollment Guides are in the mail to employees and retirees now.

YOU ARE THE UNION | UNION BEGINS WITH YOU MOST PEOPLE FEEL THAT THE "UNION" IS THE BOARD, THE PEOPLE WHO "RUN" THE UNION. THIS COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. THE "UNION" IS YOU: YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ELECTS YOUR OFFICIALS TO REPRESENT YOU. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO HAS THE PRIVILEGE TO GO TO YOUR MEETINGS AND SPEAK WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, TO LET YOUR BOARD KNOW OF ANY GRIEVANCE YOU MAY HAVE. A STRONG UNION IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS MEMBERS. SHOW VERIZON YOU STAND BEHIND YOUR UNION, ATTEND MEETINGS, REPORT INFRACTIONS BY MANAGEMENT TO YOUR SHOP STEWARD OR LOCAL WHEN THEY OCCUR. YOU WILL NEVER AGREE WITH 100% OF WHAT YOUR LOCAL DOES OR DOESN'T DO. BUT, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET PAST THAT AND CARRY ON AND CONTINUE FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS. REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE EYES AND EARS OF YOUR UNION. WITHOUT YOU...THERE WOULD BE NO "UNION". REMEMBER AGAIN UNION STARTS WITH U...N...I...
