AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA)
Brothers and Sisters,
We’ve had numerous concerns regarding the President’s appeal or replace of the Affordable Care Act. The ILWU-PMA Benefit Plans will notify of any changes regarding the ACA. Just a reminder; we will fall back to our Collective Bargaining Agreement that allows our dependents (ages 19-23) to remain in the plan as long as they are Full Time Students.
