Laborers' Benefit Office

Happy Father's Day!

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures who work hard every day to support their families and build a better future for the next generation.

Thank you for all you do both on and off the job.

We hope you enjoy a well-deserved day with your loved ones.

Happy Father's Day from the Laborers' Benefit Office.

Great news for members!

Aetna and SSM Managed Care have reached a new agreement.

As a result, SSM doctors, hospitals, and facilities will remain in-network and will not be terminated on August 1, 2026.

If you currently receive care through SSM, you can continue seeing your providers as usual.

If you have questions about your benefits or network coverage, please contact the Benefit Office at (314) 644-2777.

Thank You, Joe Leritz!

After 32 years of service on the Pension Board, Joe Leritz is stepping down as a trustee.

Throughout his time on the Board, Joe helped guide important decisions that strengthened our Pension Fund and protected the retirement security of our members.

We thank Joe for his leadership, dedication, and decades of service to the Laborers' Benefit Office and our members.

Please join us in wishing him all the best.

Was your prescription denied at the pharmacy?

Before you panic, there may be a simple explanation.

One of the most common reasons for prescription issues is a missing Coordination of Benefits (COB) form.

Even if you don't have other insurance coverage, the form must still be completed and returned each year. If your birthday has already passed and you haven't completed your COB form, contact the Benefit Office.

Questions? Call (314) 644-2777

Reminder: May work hours are due June 15.

Contractors should report May hours to the Benefit Office by June 15.

Reporting hours on time helps ensure your eligibility and benefits remain up to date.

If you have questions about your hours or eligibility, contact the Benefit Office at (314) 644-2777.

Laborers' Local 110 members, don't forget that your monthly union meeting is coming up on June 10.

June is Men's Health Month.

When you're busy working, it's easy to put your own health on the back burner. But taking care of yourself today can help prevent bigger health problems down the road.

Whether it's scheduling an annual checkup, completing your wellness screening, managing chronic pain, or talking with a healthcare provider about a concern you've been putting off, your benefits are there to help.

Your health matters. Make time for it this month.

Congratulations to Laborers' Local 110 member Mark Sneed on his retirement after 43 years in the Laborers' Union.

Throughout his career, Mark helped build our communities while creating a strong future for himself and his family. As he begins this next chapter, he's looking forward to spending more time with family, taking bike rides, and traveling the country in an RV.

Congratulations on a well-earned retirement, Mark. We wish you many years of happiness and adventure ahead.

Most people qualify for Medicare at age 65, but there are important exceptions. If Social Security has determined you are “totally and permanently disabled,” or if you have end-stage renal disease, you may be eligible for Medicare at any age.

If either situation applies before you turn 65, contact the Benefit Office immediately so we can help prevent any gap in your coverage or benefits.
