The ILWU-PMA Welfare Plan programs are established by collective bargaining between the International Longshoremen's & Warehousemen's Union (ILWU) and Pacific Maritime Association (PMA).
The Welfare Plan programs are available for eligible active and retired longshoremen, ship clerks, walking bosses/foremen and watchmen, and their qualified dependents and survivors.
For eligibility verification and specific information about qualifying for eligibility please contact the Plan office or your Area Welfare Director.
Detailed descriptions of benefits and services provided under each ILWU-PMA Welfare Plan benefit program are available in separate Supplemental Summary Plan Description booklets. The booklets describe how and where to obtain benefits; any additional requirements other than Welfare Plan eligibility that must be met to be entitled to a particular benefit; whether dependent coverage is provided and, if so, the qualifications; and information about claims and review procedures.
Copies of Supplemental Summary Plan Description booklets are supplied to ILWU Locals and are available without cost upon request at the Plan office.
