Prior to the onset of bargaining, AT&T discontinued the HCRA-R and payroll deductions for Life Insurance premiums from Retiree pension checks because they didn’t know what the outcome of negotiations would be. The Company failed to re-start the payroll deductions of Life Insurance premiums in error. As a result, no Life Insurance premiums were deducted from Retiree pension checks for the month of January.
A statement was mailed from SHPS to those Retirees who pay Life Insurance premiums via payroll deduction. The statement advised Retirees that they need to forward the amount of their January premium to SHPS to avoid discontinuation of coverage.
Retirees who receive this billing statement should forward their January payment to SHPS as soon as possible. Future Life Insurance premiums will be deducted from your pension checks.
If you have any questions regarding the Life Insurance premiums, please don’t hesitate to call Martha Flagge, CWA Representative at (202) 434-1291 or contact her via e-mail at . You may also contact Bill Bates at (202) 434-1305 or via e-mail at .
In Unity,
Martha Flagge, CWA Representative Bill Bates, CWA Representative
