+ Advantages
- You will be able to easily update contact information as needed.
- The Member Portal streamlines the application process by automatically linking to your member and employer details so that you won’t have to enter them on each application. Based on the login information provided, the system will automatically load the applicable reimbursement claim forms.
- The proof needed for each expense submitted will be tied to the expense line itself. This will reduce the number of denials from the Fund Office for lack of proof-of-submission and decrease wait time for payments.
- The claims processing time will decrease. Checks will be mailed out faster than they have been under the old system.
- The rules and guidelines for the reimbursement type are listed on the form’s first page to help you understand what’s allowed and required.
- You will be able to easily submit claims through the browser on your desktop computer, cell phone, or tablet.
- You can take a picture from your device and upload it for proof of payment.
- Coming soon: “View Balance” – view payment information for your individual benefits.
- Coming soon: “My Messages” – communicate with the Benefits Office directly through the Member Portal.
