Brothers and Sisters,

As we go into the summer months, I hope everyone has figured out the HRA Program. If you are still having problems, do not hesitate to contact WEX at 844-440-4300, Monday through Friday, 7:00 am – 10:00 pm (ET). Or go online to: wexhealthinc.my.site.com/WEXbenefitscontactus.

I know this is a lot to type in to get to their website. What I did was to call them while I was online and they guided me through filling out the paperwork, along with filling out direct deposit forms and downloading my Social Security statement.

Within 3 days, they downloaded into my account a small amount, like 99 cents, to verify my account. I went back online to verify the deposit and within 7 days had the full amount into my bank account. This is well worth the headache for next year, when the amount may go up.

The Trust is coming back to our Local on September 16, 2025, to our Chapter Meeting. Like I stated before, Thank you, UAW!
Christmas Bonus…. $500.00
OTC Card…. $350.00
HRA…. $600.00

On September 2 & 16, and October 7 & 21, tickets for our Firekeeper’s Casino Trip will go on sale. The date for the trip is October 28, 2025. The price will be $15.00 for dues-paying members and dues-paying associate members. Non-dues-paying members pay $30.00.

In the August issue of the Searchlight will be the dates for Thanksgiving & Christmas Dinners and ticket sales. Please, get involved in your Union Retiree Chapter events.

As always, please stay on top of your health and stay active.
