Unum Retirees Website

The Unum Retirees Website http://www.unumretirees.org    has been updated with specifics on Unum Retiree benefits
and contacts by bands of retirement year, thanks to Linda Levesque and Karen Kochjar of Unum HR. The change from Anthem
to UnitedHealthcare involved lots of details being addressed.

 The benefits outlines are provided in PDF format needing Adobe Reader to load.Please have patience with the Under Age 65
 UnitedHealthcare medical plan which loads slowly due to the length of the document -- lots of details.

 Elements of the Website include:

§ A Welcome Page that covers Mission & Objectives;

§ Board Member Contact Info;

§ Benefits Contact Listing;

§ Basic Medical Plans Based on Year of Retirement;

§ Retiree Benefits Described on the Unum Website;

§ Access to Newsletters;

§ Volunteer Contacts in Non-Profit Agencies;

§ Unum's Volunteer Service Grant Program (Unum will donate $1 per hour for volunteer work for a 501C3 (non-profit) firm.)

§ By-Laws

§ If you have any questions about the website, contact Bob Anastasoff   BobA2000@aol.com
