About the Benefit Plans
The goal of the Teamsters' National Benefit Plan is to provide its members with the best possible health benefits which can be provided by the assets of the fund and the contributions paid to the fund by the employers.
The purpose of these online booklets is to give you a brief description of the plans and their health benefits in general terms. It is not to be considered a contract of insurance. The exact terms of the health benefits are detailed in insurance contracts and other formal documents which govern the plan. Health benefits are subject to change by the Trustees.

About the Pension Plans
The goal of the Teamsters' National Pension Plan is to provide its members with the best possible retirement income which can be provided by the assets of the fund and the contributions paid to the fund by the employers.
Pension plans and the legislation that governs them are complex. The description in these booklets highlight the main features of the Plan in a format that is clear and meaningful. Of course not every detail of the Plan can be included in a summary such as this. The full details are contained in the Trust Agreement and the Plan Text which can be either examined in the office of the Plan Administrator or you can request a copy from the Plan Administrator. In the event of any discrepancy between this summary and the official Plan documents the benefits will be administered according to the official documents and the applicable legislation.
