         PTTC Disability Increase and Prescription Program

Local 72 is pleased to announce that it has negotiated an increase to the PTTC Disability benefit from $120 per week to $200 per week. The change is effective August 1, 2009. Further, due to some recent questions, we wanted to remind PTTCs that we have negotiated a special low-cost prescription program for them through Express Scripts Inc. called “Rx Outreach”. For more information, go to http://www.rxoutreach.com, or contact your Local 72 Business Agent.

Rx Outreach: Low cost prescriptions for part-time toll collectors. For more information,

Members should be receiving a booklet about our Welfare Fund Benefits. If you did not receive a copy

(1) Step-children are now covered under the Local 72 Welfare Fund. Eligibility for coverage under the Fund is the same as for the NYSTA's major medical program. You will need to provide a birth certificate for the child and a marriage certificate between the member and the child's natural parent.

(2) The life insurance benefit has been increased to $15,000.

Both changes will go into effect as of March 1, 2009. We are able to offer these new benefits as a result of efficient management of the Fund and the extra allowance negotiated in the most recent contract. Please contact your Local 72 representative if you need additional information. (posted2/09)
