Benefit & Pension Update:
We are pleased to announce that Ellement has completed a new website for Local 92 Members. The website address is www.laborersbenefits.ca. All benefits and pension forms/documents are available via this website. All Members currently eligible for benefits will receive correspondence via paper mail with new Benefit Cards. It is important to take this information with you to the pharmacy next time you are filling a prescription, as your current ClaimSecure card will no longer work. If you have not received this mailout within the next week or so, please call Ellement @ 1-800-661-7369 or (780)453-2303 as it can also be emailed to you, if requested. You can also download the Ellement App, which enables you to electronically upload your claims, and shows when they have been processed and paid. It also shows your benefit usage in a user-friendly way, so Members have their information more readily available. There is a QR Code for this on your new benefit cards or you can search for the APP in the App Store or on Google Play (you will need information from your benefit cards to register). For Members not interested in this method, paper claims will still be accepted.

Notice to Members enrolled in the voluntary RSAP Program: Please remember if you have not worked in a 6-month time period, your RSAP will go dormant.

Local 92 does not govern or administrate this program and we do not want Members going to site with no pre-access or active RSAP status, as this means you will not gain access to the site immediately and could potentially miss out on pay due to having to test when you arrive.
