Notes Frm FOP General Meeting 20 Oct 15

ALERT…ALERT

For those of you who may want to take advantage of the premium free health care for those that are between the ages of 55yo to 59yo, you must retire by 30 JUN 2017, because if you don’t you will have to wait until you are 60yo to get premium free health care!  This benefit will end at that time.  So if you retire after 30 June 2017, you will have to wait to retire at the age of 60 if you want the premium free health care coverage till you qualify to go on Medicare at 65yo.  Remember you must submit your retirement Par Form by 31 Oct 2016 if you plan on retiring on in 2017

If you get refused for time due, make sure you keep a copy of the refused slip.  Don’t just take the book is full for that day answer.  Remember from 35 to 5 days prior to the date, spots go by seniority not who put the slip in first.  Send a copy of the refusal to the FOP so they can keep track of how time is being handled.

FOP has stated that it will challenge any promotion list that is made up of only merit candidates.  Management gets 30% of a class, not of all those promoted.

If you go to the medical section for an IOD and they are taking their time getting you treated for you injury, don’t just go to your Doctor and get treated.  If you do you may be disqualified for a reoccurrence later.  Call the FOP to help you get the treatment you need.

The FOP has submitted its brief for the tattoo case.  When a decision is rendered, they will post the results on the website.


FREE Flu shots will be provided on Monday, November 2, 2015, from 0800 - 1600 hours.  Come to the FOP Hall, 1412 W. Washington Blvd., Chicago, Illinois. FREE Flu shots to all Members, Active and Retired, and (new this year) their spouses.  You must bring your FOP ID card to get this benefit.
