IS WHAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ENOUGH?

SHORT-TERM DISABILITY

$600 per week (less taxes) for 26 weeks. This is at least 55% less than what a Journeyman Wireman brings home on a 40-hour work week, leaving a large income gap/deficit.

LONG-TERM DISABILITY

$0 (ZERO) benefits after STD ends; no monthly benefit puts 100% of your income at risk!

LIFE INSURANCE

Our Death Benefit Fund combined with the International’s death benefit and FMCP’s benefit, may pay enough to cover burial expenses.
