Union Strong
Benevolent Fund
How it works
The local 330 benevolent fund exists to get funds to our beneficiaries, as quick as possible, upon the death of a benevolent fund member. As of 2024 the benefit amount is $3,000.00.
The benevolent fund is not an insurance policy. This benefit is handled personally by local 330 members, with the only outside entity involvement being the financial institution holding our funds.
Payments are made by each member of the fund, into the account only when someone else in the fund dies. As of 2024, when a benevolent fund member passes away, all surviving members contribute $7.00 into the fund to make sure it remains solvent for future benefits.
After death and notification, a check is hand delivered as soon as possible to the named beneficiary, by a fellow local 330 member.
This fund is 100% voluntary and only available to Local 330 union members. Upon retirement, retired members may remain in the fund, but must still contribute the same as all active members.
