HEAT YOUR HOME THIS WINTER WITH HEAP

Applications for the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) are now open!

DC 37 IS COMING HOME!

On Monday, Nov.

Dear Sisters & Brothers,

Congratulations!! The citywide economic contract was ratified. Of the 88,000 ballots that were mailed out to the members, 45,936 members voted.

The contract was approved by 97.7% of the members who voted. This is indeed a cause for celebration as we now have a sound and solid contract.

We are now in negotiations with the City to negotiate a contract for our CUNY members.

On behalf of myself, my staff, and my Executive Board, I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays!

Be well and stay safe.

MEHP HOMEBUYER ORIENTATION VIRTUAL WEBINAR 

DC 37 worked with OLR and MetLife to create a new website for PFL

A new website that is available to city employees who are covered by the NYS Paid Family Leave program.  In 2021 a survey of participants who used the program found that employees needed clear information about how to use Paid Family Leave.   

In 2023, the program will improve by lowering the payroll deduction from0.511% of income to 0.455% with a lower maximum deduction of $399.43.  In addition, siblings will be covered as an eligible dependent for leave.
