UFCW 1518 Dental Plan
Introduction
The United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 1518 UFCW 1518 Dental Plan helps cover the cost of dental care for you and your dependents. On your first visit, tell your dentist that you are a member of the UFCW 1518 Dental Plan (covered by Multi-Employer Benefits Services (MEBS)). The UFCW 1518 Dental Plan is a result of Collective Bargaining between the United Food and Commercial Workers' Union Local 1518 and your employer. The cost of the Plan is paid by your employer as a result of negotiations between the union and your employer.
The majority of UFCW Local 1518 members are covered by collective agreements requiring participation in the Plan. These include members employed in retail food and drugstores as well as many in warehousing and manufacturing operations, department stores and co-operatives. The UFCW 1518 Dental Plan is under the direction of six Trustees: three representing the Union and three representing the employers signatory to Collective Agreements requiring participation in the Plan.
The Trustees have selected Mercer to act as the Plan Administrator and MEBS to look after the payment of dental benefits. Please read this booklet carefully. It contains valuable information on eligibility rules and what dental expenses are covered by this Plan.
