How do you know if you are eligible for the Beacon
Journal healthcare settlement if you are a Guild retiree?
1. If
your retirement letter reads: “Your pension benefits are vested and not subject
to change.”
2. If
your retirement letter did NOT read: “However, all
other benefits are subject to possible change in the future.”
If you have NOT received the settlement notice paperwork and think that you qualify, call Retiree Settlement at (877) 409-0357. Be prepared to provide your retirement date, union status (Guild or CWA/printers), current address and Social Security number.

John Olesky, who retired July 1, 1996, filed
the healthcare lawsuit on behalf of Guild retirees. The settlement notices
began arriving last week for Guild retirees and retired printers.
The restored healthcare benefits, Plan
N, will begin Jan. 1, 2013 and will include the $2 co-pay.
Don’t underestimate the value of the $2
co-pay. In my case, it would have saved me more than
$2,000 a year in out-of-pocket expenses.
