Teamsters Local 727 Pension Fund
In 2013, the Board of Trustees increased Teamsters Local 727 Pension Fund benefits for the first time since 2006. The Pension Fund honors pension credits up to 40 for retiring pension plan participants. Previously, a maximum of 30 credits were honored. Additionally, the Pension Fund has continually received “green zone” status certification and reached 100 percent funding in 2016.
Teamsters Local 727 Health & Welfare Fund
Thousands of Teamsters Local 727 members and their families have seen the benefits of the union’s health insurance wellness program, which is aimed at taking a proactive approach in order to detect health problems early and treat them before they worsen.
Plan participants’ coinsurance and prescription co-pays are reduced if eligible participants and their spouse complete a medical exam and submit an exam checklist.
