Kru,

I would never attempt to answer that question as it's over my head. Were I in your shoes, my first call would be to your council's R&I guy. I am confident that if he can't answer your question, he will be able to direct you to someone who will. Just another benefit that union membership gets all of us. Contractual gains and nuance often don't mean a thing and are overlooked until you're the recipient. (For you dimbulbs, it's not the answered call, it's the language on the page that prompts the call).

Sorry to hear that you've been rolled into the hangar. Unless of course...well, let's leave it at that. Hurry back? Or, don't.

Enjoy your retirement.

You're not going to like the answer, but read 11-H-2. However, I'm not sure how the sick leave plays into the scenario so I'd second calling the MEC office and talk to a benefits specialist.

I don’t think this is the RHA VEBA ping.

This is last year's letter. Came out 12/8. I would think this year's would be out very soon.

I have a friend who's dad was an executive with a VEBA and he told me about all the things he purchased with it. It's not just for copays, folks!

It's a very flexible benefit and the more I learn about it the more I like it.
Any chance you could provide a link or post something that spells out what is allowed using VEBA money? I'm getting way more than I'd like to in my account but was under the false impression that it was strictly for deductibles and/or medical bills.

Thanks

Many people have the misconception and I don't blame them since I don't think enough education was done on just how flexible this benefit is.

See the below link:

According to that list, you can use it to pay for personal training fees if your doctor writes a letter of medical necessity. Much like a sick note, it would not be hard to get that letter.
