The UAW Retirees of Mack Trucks Health Benefit Fund, (the "Trust") provides health care benefits for eligible UAW retirees from Mack Trucks, along with their covered dependents. Currently, the Trust provides health care benefits to more than 4,600 members and their eligible dependents. This arrangement was made possible through a lawsuit between the UAW and Mack Trucks in 2012. The agreement approved by the court, between the UAW and Mack, transferred all of the retiree health care liabilities to a new independent Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA).
Your Health Care Benefits
The Trust administers the health care plans covering retirees and has tax exempt status as a VEBA under section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Trust is governed by a 7 person Committee. Three members are appointed by the UAW; the other four are independent of the UAW and were approved by the federal district court as part of the settlement agreement. The responsibilities of the Committee are considerable including determining the types of coverage and levels of benefits the Trust will provide now and into the future.
