TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR MEBA MEMBERS

 

Effective August 3, 2009, the Trustees of the M.E.B.A. Medical and Benefits Plan and the M.E.B.A. Training Plan have arranged to have an in-house Travel Coordinator provide travel services to Participants attending the M.E.B.A. Diagnostic Centers and the Calhoon M.E.B.A. Engineering School.

Participants must book all flights through the Plans' Travel Coordinator by calling them toll free.  The toll free telephone number is (877) 324-6322.  Normal operating hours for the Travel Coordinator are generally Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

Use of the in-house Travel Coordinator is mandatory for all airline arrangements for travel to the Diagnostic Centers and to the School. Failure to use the Plans' Travel Coordinator may result in the denial of your air travel expenses.  The former travel agency should no longer be used.

Additional information pertaining to the Training Plan Travel Policy may be found in Section 9 b of the Rules and Regulations Providing Benefits of the MEBA Training Plan MEBA Training Plan.
