Here is the link to register: https://studentloans.nysut.org/webinars Thank you! -- Rob Walsh President Dear Colleagues,
I hope this email finds you well. In addition to disrupting our everyday life, the global pandemic has caused economic uncertainty for millions of working people. This includes members of our own union - teachers, nurses, PPS staff, paraprofessionals. To support those members, BMUST has set up a relief fund aimed at providing some financial assistance. Members who need support may include those whose spouse/partner has lost income from loss of employment or significantly reduced employment; those who are losing a significant addition to their income due to reduction in spring or summer school or camp programs they ordinarily rely on; those who need to pay for at home care or expensive medical equipment for themselves or immediate family members; those who experience a personal or household emergency during this time. The main purpose of my letter is two-fold. First, we are seeking donations to the fund. No amount is too small! If you would like to donate, you can send your donation via Venmo to @BMUST. If you do not have a Venmo account, you can send a check made payable to BMUST to 1260 Meadowbrook Road, Merrick, NY 11566 . Please put "Coronavirus Relief Fund" in the comment section. Secondly, if you need financial assistance, please complete the application found here. Applicant information will be confidential as noted on the form. While we are committed to offering support as long as it is needed, we are asking you to submit your donation or application by Wednesday, April 29. Please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. -- Brad Seidman Treasurer/Membership Coordinator Bellmore-Merrick United Secondary Teachers Last week, Congress passed the CARES Act, formally named ‘‘Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act’’. As a result, there are a few items affecting health accounts (FSAs, HRAs and HSAs).
