Workers’ Comp Safety Group
Have you considered the New York State Builders Association Safety Group #564 managed by Risk Management Planning Group, Inc (RMPG)? The New York State Insurance Department has approved a revision in the manual rates. The revision, which becomes effective October 1, 2007, represents an average decrease of 18.4%. The New York Sate Assessment Charge is also decreased from 18.6% to 15.5%, which when combined with the overall average rate charge will result in an average net charge to policy holders of -20.5%. This change will save you money!!! Please call Leigh Brown at NYSBA, (518) 465-2492 ext. 121 or Keith Crevatas at RMPG, (800) 247-8008 for more information!

Health Insurance
NYSBA offers its members a wide variety of health plan coverage, including HMO, PPO, and a Defined Benefit Plan. NYSBA’s insurance plans offer you your choice of coverage along with unique tax saving and added health related financial management services.

Long Term Care
We understand that financial security is a priority for you and your family. Your medical and disability insurance are excellent examples of ways to protect your family today and into the future as well. However, these types of insurance do not cover the cost of Long Term Care services. Without Long-Term Care Insurance, your current savings and retirement plan could be at risk. As a NYSBA member, you are eligible for a Multi-Life discount on Long-Term Care Insurance. For more information visit the Long Term Care Website.

Member Rebate Program
This is a new program for all mid-size and smaller Builders and Remodelers. You can now receive the same rebates as the large Builders and Remodelers! This is a SIMPLE program! You do not have to save receipts! All members signing up for the Member Rebate Program by November 16, 2007 will qualify for reimbursements back to April 1, 2007 for most manufacturers. Please call Leigh Brown with any questions. Check out the Registration Form and Rebate Claim Form.
