Update Your Insurance Info. Yes, YOU.
Or: How to Avoid Accidentally
Committing Fraud (and Being the Worst)

Apparently, some people out there believe that updating the Fund about changes in their insurance status—like a divorce, a new dependent, or a child who’s aged out—is optional.

Optional! Like extra guac. Or pants on a Zoom call. Or, you know, showing up a Benefit Funds educational meeting or a Local 697 membership meeting.

Stay Curious, Stay Connected …,

And take full advantage of the resources already built for you. You’ve earned them—now make them work just as hard as you do.

Now, here’s the thing: staying informed isn’t just a duty—it’s a power move. Think of the newsletters, the FAQs on our site, and those membership and educational meetings not as chores, but as your insider’s guide to making the most of your benefits.

Pulled Up to the ER for Something Chill?

Yeah… the Plan’s not covering that.

Not sure what actually counts as an emergency?

Here’s a wild idea: Read the SPD now - before you need it. (Think of it as Googling “parachute” before you’ve jumped.)

Or ask your parents - ideally before you’re panicking, confused, or standing in line at the ER.

Not for nothing—you’ve got options.

Not sure what they mean?

That’s your cue to crack open the H&B SPD—or check the FAQs, newsletters, and notices you’ve already seen.
