Weekly Indemnity Rate Increase
The Board of Trustees have amended the terms of the Plan to increase the maximum Weekly Indemnity rate. Effective January 1, 2019, the rate will increase from $550.00 per week to $570.00 per week. All other provisions remain the same; 75% of pre-disability earnings to a maximum of $570.00 per week.
For clarity, this only applies to disabilities which start on or after January 1, 2019.
