CHAPTER 1
AUTO BENEFITS
Benefits in This Chapter
• Discounts when purchasing a new or used car
• Discounts when renting a car
• Towing/Service Calls
• Service/Repairs discount
• Car Wash
• Auto Insurance
• RVs
Automobile benefits are available for members for everything from buying a new car to getting your car washed
or serviced. These benefits and others are outlined below.
1. Purchasing a New or Used Car
*Union Plus Auto Buying Discount
Includes purchases of new and used cars, RVs, boats, motorcycles, commercial, and agricultural vehicles.
Through the program, Local 153 members will receive pre-negotiated, best-market pricing on new or used vehicles (cars, trucks, commercial, agricultural, RVs, boats, motorcycles, etc.) without having to negotiate with the
dealer. A personal Vehicle Advisor will assist members throughout the entire buying or leasing process, from selection to final delivery.
Program Features
• Pre-negotiated fleet pricing on most new vehicles purchased or leased through the program, typically 2 to 3 percent over dealer invoice.
• Used vehicle pricing at 4 percent over the cost of the vehicle at auction plus dealer preparation.
• Assistance from the program’s Vehicle Advisors throughout the process.
How the Program Works
Before visiting a dealer, please contact Vehicle Advantage at: www.vehicleadvantage.com or call 866-824-1133.
When requested, please refer to Group ID number RU-502.
The program helps members save by using pre-negotiated fleet pricing for new and used vehicles at dealers
across the country. Once the member submits a vehicle order form, the Vehicle Advisor assists the member in selecting a new or used vehicle and options. The Vehicle Advisor will then locate the vehicle at a dealer in the
member’s area and negotiate a price based on fleet pricing for new vehicles and at near auction cost for used vehicles. The dealer signs a contract agreeing to the price and the Vehicle Advisor reports the pre-negotiated price
to the member. Once the details are acceptable to the member, the Vehicle Advisor sets up a mutually agreeable
delivery appointment between the member and the dealer. The member goes to the dealership and inspects and
test drives the vehicle and the transaction and delivery is completed.
If the member decides not to purchase that vehicle, they may start the process again with the Vehicle Advisor.
While the program can provide an excellent value for a vast majority of members, it may not appear to provide the lowest price for those members who want to take the time to haggle from dealer to dealer. Also, some
vehicles may be in such demand that they require premium pricing. However, even for buyers who make car buying a sport, the program can provide an excellent price point to start from.

counter — and you can upgrade to a better car for only a couple bucks. When you order online, you can also print
out your rental car reservation confirmation for your records and to reference when you pick up your car from the
Avis or Budget Car Rental location.

• Death Benefit
• Accidental Death Benefit
• Disability Benefit
1. Death Benefit
* Local 153 will provide members in good standing, with twelve (12) consecutive months or more of membership, with a $4,000 death benefit.
Please Note!
Members who are retired or no longer employed under a Local 153 collective bargaining agreement are ineligible for the death benefit.
Members who have not paid dues in more than two months during a fourteen month period prior to death
(not including the month of death) are not eligible for the death benefit.
If a member does not pay dues through payroll deductions due to leave of absence, disability, or other similar
circumstance he/she must pay dues directly to Local 153 to remain eligible for the death benefit.
2. Accidental Death Benefit
* Local 153 will provide members in good standing, with twelve (12) consecutive months or more of membership, with a $4,000 accidental death and dismemberment benefit.
Please Note!
Members who are retired or no longer employed under a Local 153 collective bargaining agreement are ineligible for the accidental death and dismemberment benefit.
Members who have not paid dues in more than two months during a fourteen month period prior to accidental death or dismemberment (not including the month of the accidental death or dismemberment) are not eligible
for the accidental death and dismemberment benefit.
If a member does not pay dues through payroll deductions due to leave of absence, disability, or other similar circumstance he/she must pay dues directly to Local 153 to remain eligible for the accidental death and dismemberment benefit.

compensation.
Please Note!
The disability benefit payment is limited to once a year. When a period of disability extends from one calendar year into the next, this is still considered one benefit.
To be eligible, a member must be in good standing and current with payment of dues during the period of disability or worker’s compensation. Therefore, a member must continue to pay his/her dues directly to Local 153
during these periods of disability or worker’s compensation, to remain eligible for the disability benefit.
The member must claim this benefit by filing with Local 153 by the end of the year following the year the disability occurred.
For example, if the disability occurred in May 2008, the member would need to file by December 31, 2009.

CHAPTER 10
INSURANCE DEALS/BENEFITS
• Accident Insurance
• Auto Insurance
• Pet Insurance
• Supplemental Insurance
1. Accident Insurance
Your union membership entitles you to enroll for no-cost coverage for accidental death and dismemberment
(AD&D) insurance:
$5,000 of coverage against accidental death from covered motor vehicle/pedestrian accidents, or $1,000 of coverage for death due to any other type of accident at home, at work and while commuting or traveling anywhere
in the world.
Please Note!
This benefit is not automatic. Learn more and enroll online at www.unionsecure.com or call 1-800-393-0864
Members can also choose to purchase additional accidental death and dismemberment coverage from $50,000
to $150,000 at group rates.
• If an accidental death* occurs due to injury sustained while riding as a passenger on any common carrier such as an airplane, train, bus or taxi – your beneficiary would receive triple the amount of your base coverage. For example, if you purchase $150,000 of expanded coverage, your beneficiary would receive $450,000.
• If an accidental death results from a motor vehicle accident or as a pedestrian, your beneficiary would receive
double the amount of your base coverage.* For example, if you purchase $100,000 of expanded coverage,
your beneficiary would receive $200,000.
• Benefits are paid for loss of limbs, speech, hearing or sight. Coverage provided for the member alone or entire
family 24-hours-a-day, everywhere. Pays in addition to any other insurance you may have. No termination
age; however, benefit amounts reduce by half at age 70.
* Only one benefit, whichever is the greater, will be paid for any one accident. Death must occur within 365
days of injury.
2. Auto Insurance
* Defensive Driving Course/Auto Insurance Discount
An Accident Prevention/Defensive Driving Workshop is available to Local 153 members and their families at
a discounted price of $35 per person. Successful completion of this course will allow members with NYS drivers
licenses to get an immediate 10% rate reduction on liability and collection premiums for three years along with
up to 4 points immediately deducted from their record by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
In New Jersey, the rate deduction is 5% and up to 2 points reduction.
For information, contact Victoria Tirado-Roman at (212) 675-03210 (Information also available at www.unionplus.org/autoinsurance)

average $360*. Call 1-800-294-9496 for a free auto insurance quote and more information.
• Driver education grants are available to Union Plus Auto Insurance policyholders who take one of the following three driving courses.
____________________________________________________33 ____________________________________________________
Anyone insured on your Union Plus Auto Insurance policy is eligible for refunds on driver education courses
completed 6 months before or any time after you become a Union Plus Auto Insurance policyholder. That means
you could take the class for free!
By taking one of the three driving courses, union members may be also eligible for discounts on their auto insurance premiums. Auto insurance premium discount availability varies by state.
1. Defensive Driving
2. 55 Alive
3. Driver Training
3. Pet Insurance
Union Plus Pet Insurance can help you out with the big pet expenses.
Members can purchase accident and illness pet insurance for as low as $9.95/month for your dog or cat.
UnionPlus pet insurance program policies pay 100% of payable claim after the fixed deductible up to the policy limit. The Union Plus pet insurance pays a higher percentage of your claim than competitors.
• Bonus savings for union members. Union members take either 10% off the price of enrollment or get your
first month free.

You can also call 1-866-473-7387.
Note: Pet insurance deductibles do not automatically increase as your pet ages. You pay a $50 deductible (unless otherwise noted) for each incident claimed, as long as your policy is in force. Guaranteed acceptance &
lifetime enrollment.
New! Healthy Paws Pet Insurance
Healthy Paws Pet Insurance offers smart, affordable pet health coverage – at an additional discount to PerksCard
partners – that's easy to understand and covers up to 90% of any injury, accident or illness treatment for your pets.
Healthy Paws not only helps you care for your pets, but also helps homeless animals in need across the country
through our innovative grant programs.
4. UnionSecure Supplemental Insurance
Members can enroll/purchase these supplemental insurance programs designed especially for union members
and their families. The programs are underwritten by the The Hartford, a leading life insurance company in the
United States.
Union Secure offers two types of life insurance:
• Term Life
Provides the highest benefit at the lowest cost. You pay a premium for coverage over a specific period of time (a term) of one, five or
ten years—or to a specific age, such as 70. At the end of your term, your policy ends. Death benefits are paid only if you die within
that term of years.
■ TIP! Because the premiums for term insurance can be low, but the payout is typically high, young and middle-aged people benefit greatly from term life’s economical coverage.

CHAPTER 12
EDUCATION SERVICES
Benefits in this chapter
• $500 College Savings Grant
• Student Scholarships
• College Planning Center
• Powell’s Bookstore
1. $500 College Savings Grant!
This Union Plus program is open to all Local 153 members (and retirees) and is available once per
union household. The program provides a $500 grant to members who open a new 529 college savings account (or a pre-paid tuition account) after July 1, 2011. Under the law, money used for
contributions to 529 college savings accounts is state-tax deductible. In other words, if you contribute $500 to a
529 plan in a year, you may deduct $500 from your income BEFORE computing state income tax. Money in 529
college savings plans can grow free of federal and state income tax. When withdrawn and used for college by the
account beneficiary (college student), the withdrawal is taxed at the college student’s income rate.
Your 529 account beneficiary must be 12 years old or younger at the time you open your 529 account to be eligible for the Union Plus $500 college savings grant. You are eligible for the $500 grant as soon as you build
savings of at least $1,000 in the account. Only accounts opened by union members are eligible for this benefit.
You can open a 529 plan with a first deposit of less than $100 in some states, including New York, and you can
choose any state plan. To compare state plans and find out more about 529 Plans go to SavingForCollege.com.
You may combine the totals from multiple 529 plan accounts to be eligible for the grant, as long as each plan
meets the grant requirements.
You can apply for the $500 grant by completing the online application form (at UnionPlus.org) after you open
your 529 account. To be eligible for the grant accounts must have been opened after July 1, 2011, and must be in
the union member's name.
When your account has a balance of at least $1,000, mail a letter or first statement from the plan sponsor showing the date the account was opened and a current statement showing a minimum balance of $1,000 to:
Mail to
ATTN: College Savings Grants
Union Privilege

Washington, DC 20005
You will be notified by mail. Please allow 4-5 weeks for application processing.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! Due to the overwhelming popularity of this outstanding benefit, the Union
Plus funds to finance the college savings grants are running low. As a result, Union Plus has had to put
a deadline on accepting all applications for the $500 savings grant. Although that deadline has been set
for March 31, 2013, OPEIU President Michael Goodwin has been able to win a two-month extension
for OPEIU members. The deadline for OPEIU members is now May 31, 2013. Remember, to receive
the $500 savings grant, the 529 plan must be set up after July 1, 2011 for a child 12 years of age or
younger and must have $1,000 or more in the account at the time the application is submitted. The application and all corresponding required documents must be received by Union Plus by May 31, 2013.

CHAPTER 17
A SPECIAL BENEFIT FOR LOCAL 153 MEMBERS:
ID THEFT PROTECTION!
Local 153 members and their families have a benefit that provides protection in the even of identity theft. The
benefit is provided at no cost to members and their families.
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States. In fact, more than nine million adult Americans were victims of identity theft in 2011 alone. Identity theft affects one in 20 U.S. households, costs billions
of dollars every year and on average takes 165 hours for a victim to regain pre-theft status. But Local 153 members and their families can prevent the loss of money and save themselves many hours of time by registering for
their free union-provided protection against identity theft.
Local 153 has contracted with Aon Benfield and its partners, Merchants Information Solutions, Inc. (MIS) and
PrivacyMaxx, Inc., to protect you and your family. MIS is one of the oldest and most respected identity theft recovery companies in the country. PrivacyMaxx, Inc. is a technology company that provides security solutions
and customer profile monitoring — a dual force to prevent identity theft crime.
In the event of identity theft, you will be restored to “pre-victim” status, with a fully managed recovery provider
that will save you hundreds of hours of your own time, productivity and money.
How to Use Your ID Theft Protection Benefit:
• To activate your benefit, register immediately at http://promos.privacymaxx.com/opeiu153/
• You can also register by calling 888-247-9441.
• Remember, it is important for you to register for the program!
How Your ID Theft Protection Benefit Protects You:
• The program provides fully-managed “Family” Identity Theft Restoration.
A professionally trained recovery advocate is assigned to all victims and will perform a fully managed identity
restoration program for the covered member. Privacy advocates will document, dispute and reverse all fraudulent
transactions through a limited power of attorney for all known types of identity thefts. Additionally, this includes
one year of follow-ups after the victim is back to his or her pre-theft status.
• Internet Monitoring Service.
The Internet Monitoring Service proactively scans for sensitive personal information commonly sold and traded
on black market internet sites and chat rooms. This service includes monitoring for credit and debit card numbers, bank account numbers, social security numbers, drivers’ license numbers, telephone numbers, email addresses,
and other sensitive information. Proactive services like this reduce risks, costs and headaches related to financial
fraud and identity theft.
The service works with the latest internet crawling and monitoring technologies, private and public security
professionals and law enforcement agents to identify new black market internet sites. The service uses industry
standard encryption and security processes to maintain data security and monitoring reliability.
• Covered members receive a monthly status email providing an update of their monitoring service. In addition, the system sends real-time alerts via email to covered members whenever there is activity. This real-time
alerting and monitoring service provides a proactive solution that is the perfect addition to recovery services.
• Remember, it is important for you to register for the program! To activate your benefit, register immediately at http://promos.privacymaxx.com/opeiu153/ or by calling 888-247-9441. If you have questions,
please contact your shop steward or Local 153 at 212-741-8251.
