CUPE 3906 Classification “A” Unit 1 (TA or RA in lieu holding an undergraduate degree) and Unit 2 (Sessional Faculty and Hourly Rated Sessional Music Faculty) are automatically enrolled in CUPE 3906’s single dental coverage with Equitable Life of Canada unless they successfully submit a dental opt-out or family dental enrollment form by the deadline.
If you are a CUPE 3906 Classification “A” Unit 1 (TA or RA in lieu) Member working in the Winter 2024 term (and you did not work in the Fall 2023 term) and would like to opt-out of dental coverage or enroll in family dental coverage, please read this important letter and visit our website for instructions and forms: https://cupe3906.org/tas-unit-1/dental-plan/
