Group Plans & Services Portfolio
As the Secretary-Treasurer of NYSUT and Chairperson of the NYSUT Member Benefits Trust, I am pleased to present the
2023-2024 Group Plans & Services Portfolio
.
Over the years, many NYSUT locals have taken advantage of these group plan offerings. There are currently 800 group plans in place providing valuable insurance coverage or services to more than 240,000 members. The buying power of NYSUT’s 700,000+ membership allows participants to enjoy low rates and strong member advocacy.
Especially in these times, access to these valuable insurance programs is critical to all our members. Available group insurance plans include Dental, Disability, Voluntary Disability (a group plan that allows less than 100% participation with a minimum of 20%), Term Life, and Vision.

Many of our group service plans are quite cost-effective compared to the value they bring to members’ lives. For example, the price of our
Group Access Legal Service Plan
is $35 per person per year and provides each member with a will, health care proxy, and power of attorney preparation; free document review; unlimited telephone consultations; and a 24-hour emergency hotline.
Our
Group Financial Counseling Program
costs $35 per person per year and provides each member with advice and guidance on personal financial situations in a wide variety of areas.
Group Health Advocate
is a service that provides assistance with identifying doctors and hospitals, offers guidance with treatment options for various medical conditions, helps resolve erroneous medical bills, and can assist with finding "best in class" medical institutions for a serious illness or injury; this program costs $15 per person per year.
Member Benefits also endorses program providers for
Flexible Benefit Plans & Health Reimbursement Arrangements
that can assist members with managing health care costs.
These group insurance and service plans are often added through contract negotiations and provided through your employers. If not employer-paid, some locals provide these plans through local dues or a benefit trust (which may be either fully or partially employer-funded).
If you would like more information about any of the programs included in this publication, Member Benefits staff includes regional
Benefits Coordinators
available to meet with your team virtually or in-person. You may also contact us or the providers of our endorsed group plans for additional information or a customized quote.
Find out what so many NYSUT locals already know -- our endorsed programs provide a benefit that members can count on and have a value above and beyond those they can find on their own.
In solidarity,
J. Philippe Abraham
Chairperson, NYSUT Member Benefits Trust
