ATTENTION MEMBERS OF TEAMSTERS LOCAL 89 COVERED UNDER TEAMCARE

As the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation continues to develop, we are seeing individuals across the country being quarantined who have not been diagnosed with COVID-19, but have possibly been exposed to it as a result of a diagnosed family member, etc.

We have received numerous questions from members covered under a TeamCare health insurance plan as to whether TeamCare would grant disability to such individuals who have been quarantined but not diagnosed with COVID-19. (Note: Individuals who have been officially diagnosed with COVID-19 are covered by disability under TeamCare plans.)

President Zuckerman contacted TeamCare about this issue and was informed that the fund trustees will be holding a meeting next week to discuss this very question. We will update our members of TeamCare’s decision regarding this situation as soon as it is available.

Thank you all, and stay safe and healthy.
