Vaccine Eligibility Update from NYS (March 15, 2021)
March 15, 2021
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the expansion of the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility for New Yorkers that are “essential in-person public-facing building service workers.”
Under the new guidance, Local 94 members in our commercial building locations will be eligible to begin receiving the vaccine on March 17th, 2021.
We urge our members and their families to get vaccinated to help protect against COVID-19 and do our part to end the pandemic. Starting on March 17th, you can make an appointment to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine at https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/ or at https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/.
Thank you,
Kuba J. Brown
Business Manager/Financial Secretary
IUOE Local 94
FAQs
What are the acceptable reasons for taking a loan from my Annuity Fund account?
In certain cases, you can take out a loan from your Annuity Fund account. Reasons to take out a loan include:
- Buying or fixing a principal residence
- Medical bills that are not reimbursed by medical insurance
- Educational expenses (tuition) at an accredited school, including vocational school, at any level
- Expenses incurred for the legal adoption of a child
- Funeral expenses incurred because of the death of your Spouse or a dependent child
You are eligible to apply for a loan if you are actively employed by a Contributing Employer, and you have been so employed for at least three years. You may have only one loan outstanding at a time. An outstanding loan balance (active or defaulted) must be paid in full prior to applying for a subsequent loan (except those loans that were defaulted prior to January 1, 1996). The maximum loan amount is the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of your account balance.
