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
How do I add my newborn child to my plan?
You must provide the Fund Office with a copy of the child’s birth certificate within 90 days of birth to enroll your child with the applicable date (child’s birthdate). If you fail to do so, within the applicable 90-day period, dependent coverage will not be available under the Plan for your new dependent child until the first of the month following the date in which you provide the Fund Office with the required documentation or any other verifying information requested. A Coordination of Benefits Form (COB) must be completed if your child has other coverage. You should also visit the Life Events page on this site to see what you need to do for your other benefits.
