The Trust’s mission is to deliver high-quality benefits and services to Union represented public employees, to enrich their overall quality of life and to enhance their appreciation of their respective Unions.
OPEN ENROLLMENT THIS YEAR IS MAY 8 – 21, 2025
This is the time of year to make changes or add unmarried dependents up to age 26 to your dental and vision (if they meet eligibility requirements). Changes can only be made during open enrollment and cannot be made outside open enrollment unless you have a qualifying event(marriage, birth, etc.). This is also a good time to check your beneficiaries.
What we do
The Union Benefits Trust offers dental, vision, the legal service plan and life insurance benefits to OCSEA/AFSCME Local 11, District 1199/SEIU, OSTA, FOP/OLC, SCOPE/OEA, FOP Unit 2 and CWA represented State employees.
The Trust is the product of several years of work by the Unions serving State employees. OCSEA, the largest Union for Ohio’s State employees, established the Trust through collective bargaining in its 1992-1994 agreement with the State. The Unions believed that they could administer benefits more effectively and efficiently for Union-represented State employees, and the Trust today is proof of that belief. Learn More.
