As you might be aware, CUPE 3906 has bargained a comprehensive dental plan for Sessional Faculty (and their dependents) that offers 100% reimbursement on many procedures and provides up to $1000 per calendar year in coverage (or $2000 for those who enroll in family coverage). Information about specific details, costs, exceptions, and processes can be found here: https://cupe3906.org/sessionals-unit-2/unit-2-dental-coverage/ and full details about the opt out and family enrollment procedures can be found here..
All sessionals are automatically enrolled in this plan.
You may opt-out of the Dental Plan by completing the ‘CUPE DENTAL PLAN OPT-OUT AUTHORIZATION’ and CUPE 3906 direct deposit payment forms and by providing the required proof of alternative coverage. You must submit the ‘OPT-OUT’ form and ‘proof of coverage’ to administrator@cupe3906.org by October 2nd, 2023. For returning members, please note that opt-outs must be completed EACH YEAR to keep your opt-out status valid.
