Amplifon Hearing Health Care is an amazing benefit that extends
to family members you may not think are covered. My 78 year old
father in-law was fitted, tested and trained on a device with Miracle
Ear, a top-of-the line, preferred Amplifon provider! The 66% discount
was incredible. I felt like we got back years worth of dues with what
our family saved on this one member benefit alone. ”

My daughter graduated this past spring with her BS in Business
Administration thanks to the CSEA/AFSCME discounted college
program. She started part time in 2020 while working full time.
She also was balancing being a wife and a mother. I am so proud
of her! Both she and I thank you for this opportunity. It is fantastic
and awesome, and I am blessed to be part of CSEA!”

What
members
are saying
about our
union’s
member
benefits:
For more than 40 years, the CSEA
Employee Benefit Fund (EBF)
has been a steadfast partner for
local government CSEA members,
offering crucial dental, vision,
and reimbursement benefits that
prioritize both
health and
savings.
Since 1981,
when Local
Government
units first began
integrating EBF
benefits into
their contracts,
we have
witnessed the addition of over six
hundred new units.
In 2024, 17 local government
bargaining units recognized the
immense value in adding to their
existing benefits, upgrading their EBF
coverage, or introducing EBF benefits
for the very first time.
EBF welcomes 17 new local government units in 2024
This achievement was the result
of a collaborative effort, with our
dedicated EBF marketing team
working in tandem with negotiating
teams, members, and regional
staff. Through a series of meetings,
conference calls
and enrollment
days, they ensured
the successful
integration of these
valuable benefits.
These units leave
behind a legacy of
strength, securing
excellent benefits
for their members
for years to come.
The EBF takes immense pride
in welcoming the newest Local
Government units who understand
that better benefits lead to better
contracts. Here is a list of these
commendable additions, upgrades
