POSSIBLE CANADA POST STRIKE
Due to the possibility of a mail strike at midnight, Friday May 22nd, 2025, below are the alternate ways to submit your benefit claims:
1. Sign up for Online Claims, Direct Deposit and submit your claims via the Mobile Claims Application.
2. For dental claims, if possible, have the dental office submit your claim electronically. You will need to provide them with your policy number, certificate number and the carrier ID number which can be found on your benefit card.
3. Take your completed and signed paper claims to your Local office to be couriered to Union Benefits.
If you are currently receiving reimbursement cheques, we encourage you to sign up for Direct Deposit so that your claims reimbursement payment can be deposited directly into your bank account.
Should you require additional information, please call our office at 519-725-8818 or 1-800-265-2568.

MAKE SURE YOUR BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION IS UP TO DATE!
In the unfortunate event of your death, it is critical that your Life Insurance will be paid to the people you wish and that the benefit is paid without delay. Therefore, it is prudent that from time to time, you review your beneficiary designations for your Life Insurance coverage. Please make sure that Union Benefits has the proper beneficiaries on file for your Life coverage. Don’t forget, if you have designated someone who has not yet turned 18, you will need to appoint a Trustee. If you are unsure of your Beneficiary designation, contact Union Benefits. If you want to update your Beneficiary(ies), please complete the Beneficiary Designation Form which is also available on the member website.
