VEBA Health Reimbursement Benefit Information
In late February 2026, AFSCME 189 members voted on whether or not to set up VEBA health reimbursement accounts for health-related expenses and tax savings for our bargaining unit employees. During the March General Membership meeting, the AFSCME 189 Election Committee released the election results:
The majority voted “yes.”
As dictated by IRS rules, all represented employees must participate in the plan. The contribution rate will be 1% of pay and the accounts would be administered by HRA VEBA. More information regarding the implementation of the plan will be available soon. Please read through the information below in the meantime. If you still have questions, feel free to email communications@afscme189.com.
