Local 942 recently did a mailout for American Income Life Insurance Company. American Income is a 100% union supplemental insurance provider that works in cooperation with Laborers Local 942. All members are covered by the 2000 Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD & D) benefit discussed in the mailout regardless of whether they return their card. However, if members want to enroll in the Partners Program, which gives a 10-60% discount on vision, prescription and chiropractic services, then they need to return the card enclosed with the mailout. To return the card electronically, go to http://returns.altig.com/LIUNA942/.

By completing and submitting the form you are requesting to receive your free benefits and the certificate for the accident policy, which has already been automatically set in place for you. An AIL Representative will contact you to deliver your no-cost benefits and explain any additional benefits that you and your family may qualify for once you send in the reply card.
