_Time to focus on the State Senate

_The fight to defeat right to work for less now shifts to the Indiana State Senate.

     A new page has been added which we will update with reports from the AFL-CIO.  Click the Right To Work For Less Page.
      Please refer to that page for a list of  Republican State Senators that voted with us in the first reading, and let them know we appreciate and want to keep their votes.
     You will also find a list of State Senators that the AFL-CIO have on their most likely to convert list. 
           Call these Senators toll-free at 1-800-382-9467 and urge them to stand up for working Hoosiers!

With the new year comes the new insurance.  By now you should have received your new insurance card (for medical part), and your debit card for your HRA and FSA accounts.
You will  NOT receive a new prescription card so be sure to keep
the one you're presently  using. 
If you need additional debit cards for family members they can be ordered at bankofamerica.com/benefitslogin.  You can order debit cards under Common Requests.
Your BAC debit card can not be used at ATM machines and when using the
card you need to select credit at the register.  There is not a PIN associated with this account.
You should have also received a "Welcome to GE Health Benefits packet from the company.
There is a lot of useful information in this packet, please read through it so that you might better understand the new insurance and the procedures you will need to follow.  The HRA and FSA Guide is particularly helpful for setting up your account and showing you how to use it.
