If you are a union member who participates in certain Union Plus programs and have been affected by the recent deadly floods and mudslides that struck West Virginia, you may be eligible for financial assistance. Unprecedented flooding has left thousands of families displaced, and many do not have flood insurance.
Union Plus Disaster Relief Grants of $500 are available to eligible members who have a Union Plus Credit Card1, Union Plus Life or Accidental Death Insurance, or Union Plus Auto Insurance, or Union Plus Mortgage. Participants who live in Clay, Fayette, Greenbrier, Kanawha, Monroe, Nicholas, Pocahontas, Roane, Summers and Webster counties may be eligible for these grants. The approved grants do not have to be repaid.
The Union Plus Disaster Relief Fund has provided nearly $1 million in assistance to union members facing hardships following Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina, floods, wild fires and other natural disasters.
