Does anyone know of any full time UPS employees who have died in the past year or so? If so their loved ones were most likely only paid a max of $40,000 in life insurance from Teamcare. They are entitled to $100,000 max.
The contract states on page 171. 4. Short term disability, life insurance and dental benefits will first be provided through Central States Health & Welfare. UPS will cover the differential between what Central States Health & Welfare currently provides and what the employee had as a benefit prior to January 1, 2014.
The life insurance benefit prior to 2014 was a maximum of $100,000 therefore the beneficiary should receive a check for $40,000 from Teamcare and the remainder of up to $60,000 in another check directly from UPS. The beneficiary may have to contact the Teamsters to find out how to get the UPS check.
I have been on Disability and have not received the promised matched benefit as Teamcare disability is less than my old UPS disability payment. Grievance to be filed.
Disability is only about $400 differential. So not a big deal but I still should get what was promised. On the other hand...Life Insurance is up to $60,000 differential which is a very big deal.
Lets make sure everyone gets the benefits that we are entitled to.
