Welfare Fund Benefits Overview (Full-Time Actives)
What is covered by the PSC-CUNY Welfare Fund Supplemental Benefits Plan?
Upon enrollment, eligible full-time active employees and their eligible dependents have the following benefits at no payroll deduction:
- Dental
- Vision
- Prescription Drug (if enrolled in the NYC Health Benefits Program)
- Basic disability
- Extended medical (if enrolled in GHI-CBP basic health coverage)
- Hearing aid
These optional benefits are also available; however, you pay a premium:
- Optional extended disability
- Optional term life insurance (first year free if new NYSUT member)
These benefits are in addition to the basic health insurance provided by CUNY through the NYC Health Benefits Program. Employees who waive coverage from the NYC HBP are eligible for dental, vision and hearing aid benefits but are ineligible for the prescription drug program and the extended medical benefit.
