About Open Enrollment

We are pleased to inform you that BLET UP Central Region is currently in an open enrollment. All of the available coverages are offered separately and a member’s participation in one or all of those coverages, and the level to which they elect to participate, is voluntary and strictly their individual choice.

The purpose of this group insurance plan is to give you options to supplement your income and expenses in the event that you cannot work as a result of an injury or illness. The group plan offers Disability Insurance and Life Insurance with Accidental Death & Dismemberment coverages through Principal.

All insurance under this Union Group Policy will cover you for as long as you continue to remain actively employed and in good standing with the union.

You will be able to resume your coverage if you return to work within 12 months. If dismissed or suspended, you may keep your life insurance coverage for up to 12 months as long as premiums are paid. Beyond 12 months, your coverage will terminate unless you convert or port the policy.

Note: This also applies to any member who has not had a formal hearing.
