Open Enrollment for Upgraded Disability Rider 

Have you noticed posters on your campus advertising Enhanced Long Term Disability Insurance?  This is an improvement to the long term disability rider offered by the Fund through The Standard Life Insurance Company of New York.  During a special enrollment window from April 15 through May 15 most members who have not yet purchased it have an opportunity to get this enhanced benefit without providing the usual medical history requirement.   (If you have been previously denied disability rider coverage, you will need to provide evidence of insurability.)  

For brochures and enrollment forms visit your campus human resources department. You can read a story about the plan in the April, 2008, Clarion by clicking here..

Welcome to the PSC-CUNY Welfare Fund Website.  Your Welfare Fund is a Supplemental Fund supported by contributions from the City University of New York in accordance with the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. 

The Supplemental aspect refers to the nature of the benefits, principally dental, prescription drug, extended medical, disability, death benefits, optical and a variety of smaller benefits. These are all offered through the Welfare Fund. 

Basic health benefits are provided directly through carriers such as GHI, HIP, Blue Cross and others. These are not part of the Welfare Fund. This website will allow you to access (link to) more information on those programs. 

This website is a work in progress where Fund Staff will be updating and amending on a regular basis. We are providing the best information on our current benefits and changes that are coming into effect. 

We hope you will be able to use this site to answer many of your questions and concerns and also use it to enhance your communications with the Fund Office.
