Health and Welfare Benefit Summaries

The Vision Plan is available to all active and retired members and their eligible dependents.

This benefit helps pay for annual vision examinations and for glasses and contact lenses, subject to the rules of the Plan. The Plan uses a network of opticians, optometrists, and ophthalmologists called Vision Service Plan (VSP) to provide these benefits in an efficient and cost-effective way. Reduced benefits are available when you use a provider outside the VSP network. How often you can use the benefit and your copayment are shown in the benefit schedule below.
