The Massachusetts Public Employees Fund provides benefits to eligible public employees. The Fund’s Board of Trustees develops the plan design and eligibility policies offered to you and your dependents.
Your union has secured these dental and vision benefits completely free of charge for you and eligible family members. The cost of this coverage is paid entirely by employer contributions required by the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by your union.
New employees become eligible for benefits on the first day of the month following the completion of 6 full months of employment. Eligible employees must be regularly scheduled to work at least half-time per week. Eligible City of Boston employees must be regularly scheduled to work twenty or more hours per week.
Your eligibility for benefits ends one full calendar month after the date you stop working in a covered Bargaining Unit. If you have any questions about your eligibility call the Fund Office at (800) 325-5214.
