Chapter 1 Automobile Discounts

Benefits in This Chapter …………………………………………………………………………………………… *Discounts when purchasing a new or used car *Discounts when renting a car *Towing/Service Calls *Service/Repairs discount *Car Wash *Auto Insurance *AAA *Motorcycles and RVs ………………………………………………………………………………………………

Automobile benefits are available for members for everything from buying a new car to getting your car washed or serviced. These benefits and others are outlined below.

1. Purchasing a New or Used Car

*Union Plus Auto Buying Discount Includes purchases of new and used cars, RVs, boats, motorcycles, commercial, and agricultural vehicles.

Through the program, Alliance members will receive pre-negotiated, best-market pricing on new or used vehicles (cars, trucks, commercial, agricultural, RVs, boats, motorcycles, etc.) without having to negotiate with the dealer. A personal Vehicle Advisor will assist members throughout the entire buying or leasing process, from selection to final delivery.

Program Features

Pre-negotiated fleet pricing on most new vehicles purchased or leased through the program, typically 2 to 3 percent over dealer invoice.

Used vehicle pricing at 4 percent over the cost of the vehicle at auction plus dealer preparation.

Assistance from the program’s Vehicle Advisors throughout the process.

2

How the Program Works

Before visiting a dealer, please contact Vehicle Advantage at: www.vehicleadvantage.com or call 866-824-1133. When requested please refer to Group ID number RU-502.

The program helps members save by using pre-negotiated fleet pricing for new and used vehicles at dealers across the country. Once the member submits a vehicle order form, the Vehicle Advisor assists the member in selecting a new or used vehicle and options. The Vehicle Advisor will then locate the vehicle at a dealer in the member’s area and negotiate a price based on fleet pricing for new vehicles and at near auction cost for used vehicles. The dealer signs a contract agreeing to the price and the Vehicle Advisor reports the pre-negotiated price to the member. Once the details are acceptable to the member, the Vehicle Advisor sets up a mutually agreeable delivery appointment between the member and the dealer. The member goes to the dealership and inspects and test drives the vehicle and the transaction and delivery is completed.

If the member decides not to purchase that vehicle, they may start the process again with the Vehicle Advisor.

While the program can provide an excellent value for a vast majority of members, it may not appear to provide the lowest price for those members who want to take the time to haggle from dealer to dealer. Also, some vehicles may be in such demand that they require premium pricing. However, even for buyers who make car buying a sport, the program can provide an excellent price point from which to start.

3. MyMedicalRecords.com

MyMedicalRecords.com provides secure, convenient on-line storage for medical records, personal health records and other vital documents that need to be protected so that they are not lost in the event of a disaster. Users get a personal “Lifeline” number that they (or their medical providers) can use to fax information into the account. Information also can be uploaded from a desktop. Users then can file information in a personal filing cabinet so it’s easy to retrieve. In addition, users get a suite of personal health management tools such as the ability to enter their medical history as well as keep a list of prescriptions. Even more important, users can create a special emergency password that gives medical personnel access to their information in the event of a crisis in which the user can not communicate.

BENEFITS Easy to use – users can easily fax records into their account using their Lifeline telephone number. Users can file and store lab results, patient charts, progress notes, x-rays, scans, ultrasounds and other health records.

40 Users can file and store copies of Living Trust, Wills, DNR instructions – even pictures of personal property, children and pets. Information can be accessed from any computer 24/7 – so in the event of a home disaster or if user is traveling, critical information can be accessed. Ability to store complete personal health information reduces the potential for duplicate and expensive medical tests, life-threatening drug interactions and other possible treatment mistakes. Users can select what information they want medical personnel to see in the event of a medical emergency. Each account holds information for up to six family members.

If a member does not pay dues through payroll deductions due to leave of absence, disability, or other similar circumstance he/she must pay dues directly to ITPE or USW to remain eligible for the accidental death and dismemberment benefit.

3. Disability Benefit *The Alliance will provide members with a $250 disability or worker’s compensation benefit after 6 weeks of disability or worker’s compensation.

Please Note! The $250 payment is limited to once a year. When a period of disability extends from one calendar year into the next, this is still considered one benefit.

To be eligible, a member must be in good standing and current with payment of dues during the period of disability or worker’s compensation

The member must claim this benefit by filing with the Alliance by the end of the year following the year the disability occurred.

43 For example, if the disability occurred in May 2007, the member would need to file by December 31, 2007 to receive this benefit.

Chapter 10 Insurance Deals/Benefits

Benefits in this Chapter ……………………………………………………………………………………………… *Accident Insurance *Auto Insurance *Pet Insurance *Supplemental Insurance ………………………………………………………………………………………………

1. Accident Insurance Your union membership entitles you to enroll for no-cost coverage for accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance: $5,000 of coverage against accidental death from covered motor vehicle/pedestrian accidents, or $1,000 of coverage for death due to any other type of accident at home, at work and while commuting or traveling anywhere in the world.

If an accidental death* occurs due to injury sustained while riding as a passenger on any common carrier - such as an airplane, train, bus or taxi – your beneficiary would receive triple the amount of your base coverage. For example, if you purchase $150,000 of expanded coverage, your beneficiary would receive $450,000.

48 If an accidental death results from a motor vehicle accident or as a pedestrian, your beneficiary would receive double the amount of your base coverage.* For example, if you purchase $100,000 of expanded coverage, your beneficiary would receive $200,000.

Benefits are paid for loss of limbs, speech, hearing or sight. Coverage provided for the member alone or entire family 24-hours-a-day, everywhere. Pays in addition to any other insurance you may have. No termination age; however, benefit amounts reduce by half at age 70.

*Only one benefit, whichever is the greater, will be paid for any one accident. Death must occur within 365 days of injury. ------.

4. UnionSecure Supplemental Insurance Members can enroll/purchase these supplemental insurance programs designed especially for union members and their families. The programs are underwritten by the The Hartford, a leading life insurance company in the United States.

Union Secure offers two types of life insurance:

-Term Life Provides the highest benefit at the lowest cost. You pay a premium for coverage over a specific period of time (a term) of one, five or ten years - or to a specific age, such as 70. At the end of your term, your policy ends. Death benefits are paid only if you die within that term of years. TIP! Because the premiums for term insurance can be low, but the payout is typically high, young and middle-aged people benefit greatly from term life's economical coverage.

50 -Whole Life Whole life insurance provides lifelong coverage – to age 95, 100 and even beyond. The most common type is called "ordinary life" insurance.

*Pay the same premiums for as long as you live. For this reason, premiums are typically higher than term life premiums for the same amount of coverage. But your premium rates remain the same for the duration of your policy.

*Whole life insurance also builds cash value – a savings account within the policy increases over time on a tax-deferred basis. TIP! A policy with cash values may also be used as collateral for a loan. If you borrow from your life insurance policy, the rate of interest is shown in your policy. Any money which you owe on a policy loan would be deducted from the benefits if you were to die, or from the cash value if you were to stop paying premiums.

*Union Secure also offers hospital & home recovery insurance Hospital and at-home recovery insurance provides cash for the time you’re in the hospital and recovering at home. It not only helps you cope with the extra, unexpected expenses that accompany a hospital stay—such as health insurance deductibles – but also the expenses you face during at-home recovery, when the additional costs can really begin to add up for emergency child care, meals and more.

For more information on UnionSecure supplemental Insurance or to enroll visit www.unionsecure.com or call 1-800-393-0864 (M-F, 8 am to 7 pm, ET).

That's because student loan consolidation allows you to stretch your repayment period from the standard 10 years to up to 30 years, depending on the amount of your education debts. The lower payment means you'll have more money available to meet other household expenses, including car payments, childcare, and career-related necessities.

Apply online by creating an online account at: http://www.unionplus.org/benefits/education/financing/consolidation.cfm *Please choose 828924UN as your lender code on your application to ensure you are eligible for the strike benefit.

Or Call 1-800-338-5000 to apply over the phone.

FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your starting point for applying to almost all student financial assistance programs. For example, you need to complete this free application to receive any federal student aid. Many schools also use the FAFSA as part of their application process for non-federal aid.

The Department of Education's site www.ed.gov also explains the purpose of the FAFSA questions and how to complete a FAFSA form.

TIP! A free booklet - Paying for higher education: What union families need to know - explains in plain and simple language the ins and outs of applying for federal student aid for college, business or career school.
