If you are a CUPE 3906 TA, RA (in lieu of TA), and/or Sessional Faculty Member who is working in the Winter 2024 term (but did not work in the Fall 2023 term), this message is for you!

Until February 5th, 2024, CUPE 3906 Classification “A” TA, RA (in lieu of TA) holding an undergraduate degree, and Sessional Faculty Members who are working in the Winter 2024 term (but did not work in the Fall 2023 term) can opt-out of dental coverage or enroll in family dental coverage.  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/

The deadline to submit these forms and any applicable supporting documentation to administrator@cupe3906.org is February 5, 2024.

Unfortunately, we can no longer accept dental opt-out or family enrollment forms from members who worked in the Fall 2023 term.

Members who are working as Unit 1 or Unit 2 Members in the Spring/Summer term(s) (and did not work in the Fall 2023 or Winter 2024 terms) may opt-out of dental coverage or enroll in family dental coverage at the beginning of the Spring/Summer term(s).
