As part of the restructuring, an Employee Life and Health Trust (ELHT) has been established providing a newly designed benefit plan. Information, including a welcome letter and plan summary, has been mailed by Greenshield Canada on behalf of the Trustees to all plan members. Claims have commenced being paid directly from the new ELHT as of January 1, 2018.
The welcome letter and plan summary describe the benefits provided and contain guidance as to how to submit a claim incurred on or after January 1, 2018. If you are a member who has not received a copy of the welcome package, please email the Trust directly at Stelcobenefitstrust@gmail.com, or call Greenshield at 1-888-711-1119.
For outstanding emergency health and dental benefits claims from the Retiree Fund incurred prior to January 1, 2018, please continue to follow the process for submitting claims described at the following link under the September 29, 2017 update: https://kmlaw.ca/cases/usscrepcounsel/#developments.
