There have been several changes made to GM Retiree benefits as a result of recent contract renegotiation between the UAW and GM ,effective July 1, 2009. For an overview of those changes please see the SPECIAL BULLETIN section or click here
Everyone should have received a notice to update their beneficiary in the mail recently. If you did not do that I am encouraging each of you to do so. Met. Life is going to pay your life insurance to the beneficiary on record at the time of your death. It might be someone you had on record when you were first employed with G.M. You can order forms to change or update your records by calling 888-543-3461. It might be a good idea to find out how much coverage you have also. I have been asked many times at funeral homes and I can't tell you. I do know that the minimum amount is Three thousand dollars. There is a formula that is used to determine how much your insurance will decrease to starting at age sixty-five. Your rate of pay plus your years of service figure into determining what your reduced amount will be. We will try to give you important information periodically so check often or let us know if you want a particular benefit explained.
Thanks,
Zane Payne Chairman
