[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 328069, member: 12570"] Threads such as this are why I am constantly urging both my co-workers and fellow UPSers on BC to get supplemental health insurance, whether it be AFLAC, Combined, or whomever. We all have seen the AFLAC commercials where the duck is paying the bills while the guy is laid up on the couch. I have Combined and it has helped me pay my bills during my three prior surgeries and my most recent, which was this past Friday for a trigger finer, which I scheduled on a Friday as I was on vacation the following week (this week). I will get a check from Combined for the time that I was off work plus for the surgery itself, which is in addition to my vacation pay. I did not file this as a comp case as the surgery was minor, the recovery period is only 1 week and I will be back to work on Monday. Payments that I received during my 3 prior surgeries were all in addition to my comp pay. Temporary withdrawal from the Union sounds like a good move but do you have to pay back the dues that you missed while you were off? [/QUOTE]
