Deadlines matter.
Receipts matter. Life changes matter.
And,
Mo Flores is not a myth.

So yes, we’re saying it again. Not because we have to—frankly, we shouldn’t—but because when we don’t, some of you take that silence as a kind of hall pass. Spoiler: it’s not.

There is no hall pass. There’s just us, being irrationally generous with reminders you should already know. You're welcome

  1. Shortage of Hours? - Pay by 4:30 PM, Mon, June 30. Late = no bueno. That date and time? It’s not a suggestion. That’s the deadline. Like taxes. Or your mom’s birthday. Miss it and chaos ensues.

  2. Used Your HRA Debit Card? – Now we just need proof — a receipt or E.O.B. Think of it as showing your work, but without the long division-induced trauma.

    Still confused? Let’s keep it simple: the SPD has the answers. Real ones. Not thrilling, but undeniably helpful. How it works. What to do. When to do it. Yes! It’s all in there. Trust us.

  3. Life Changes? - Got married? Divorced? Welcomed a baby? Have a weird legal situation involving twins or did you lose a ferret in a custody battle? Tell us. In writing. If the Fund finds out after the fact — and it ends up costing the Fund — then unfortunately, it’s not just a clerical issue. It’s a breach of trust with your fellow members, who are, quite literally, your brothers and sisters in this Plan.

    And in fairness to them, that could mean you’ll no longer be part of it — and likely having a very direct conversation with Fund counsel. Which let’s be honest, no one puts on their vision board.

  4. Mo Flores - Mo’s still offering 1-on-1 money chats at Local 697. Curious? Book a slot. When? Where? How? You’ve been told. More than once. Go on, sleuth it out. (We believe in you.)

  5. For Those of You Who Haven’t Secured Your Empower Account.

    Seriously — get it done. It’s not rocket science.

    But here’s what it is: protection for one of your biggest assets — or for some of you, your soon-to-be biggest asset.

    So don’t wait — secure your account today. Instructions? You’ve already received them. Multiple times. In multiple ways. So yes, you have them. You just need to find them again. And as one wise philosopher once said: “Get ‘er done.”
