WHAT'S NEW AT CMES?
The Trustees of the MEBA Training Plan amended the Plan’s Rules & Regulations at the June 15, 2023 meeting. MEBA mates who meet eligibility requirements are now allowed to attend a course at any accredited school for licenses that they could currently take at MITAGS and be reimbursed for tuition, lodging and meals, provided that the total cost, including lodging and meals, does not exceed the cost to attend an equivalent course at MITAGS. Receipts must be provided for tuition, lodging, and meals.
- Please read the complete Amendment No. 23-1, which can be found here or on the MEBA Benefit Plans website, for full details.
- Information on courses and reimbursements available for alternate location training is available on our Alternate Location Training Information page, under Approved Course Topics & Maximum Reimbursement Rates.
