Benefits, Insurance, & Retirement Information
Below is information on Benefits, Health / Supplemental Insurance and Retirement Information for Railroad employees and specifically, members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.
Your first resource for any situation you may face, would be the Railroad Retirement Board. They offer sickness benefits or unemployment benefits for members who unfortunately find themselves unable to work. This is in addition to being your resource for any retirement related needs.
Below is some helpful information we have gathered:
The BLET is constantly searching for ways to add value to our membership, through initiatives like our Benefits of Belonging Program.
There are two features of this program. The first is through various insurance plans to cover you if you are injured and encounter a loss of earning potential. The second which is an income protection plan that covers you if you lose your job due to disciplinary situations. These are optional plans you can choose to participate in. I will highlight the plans below, along with a few other things. I encourage you to contact any of these groups for further information.
