As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 1199SEIU Funds' planned move to 498 Seventh Avenue has been delayed, and the Funds are now preparing to reopen in the new building in stages. During this time, the Funds will continue to conduct most operations, including paying claims, remotely as Funds staff transitions to working onsite in the new building. The Funds anticipate continuing some operations remotely while social-distancing guidelines regarding occupancy are developed and implemented. More details to follow at a later date.
Funds Will Reopen to Service Members after Labor DayThe Funds sent a postcard to your 1199SEIU home care employees and members regarding the reopening, and will share plans in the coming weeks about the resumption of office-based work. Funds staff will be onsite to service members after Labor Day, but in the meantime, the Funds will continue to serve your 1199SEIU employees and members through various established remote methods as well, including the improved
self-service website. They can also easily access information about their benefits by visiting
My Account, or by calling the Funds' Member Services Representatives at (646) 473-9200 or their Outreach Coordinators, whose contact information is listed below, as well as on
