The Trustees of the United Food & Commercial Workers Unions and Food Employers Benefit Fund take great pride in providing the Scholarship Award and Tuition Assistance Programs.
These programs are available to active Plan A Participants and their eligible children.
The Fund considers scholarships and tuition reimbursement to be excludable from income. Please check with your own tax advisor to determine if you have any tax consequences as the result of receiving benefits for yourself or your children from the Scholarship Award and Tuition Assistance programs.
Under this program, the Fund awards scholarships to active Plan A Participants and their eligible children in recognition of their outstanding academic, technical, or vocational potential or achievement; dedicated community service; and a high degree of personal accomplishment.

To Report identity theft, fraud or misuse of my Social Security number, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, recommends that you take the following steps:
Place a fraud alert on your credit file by contacting one of the three companies:
The company that you contact is required to contact the other two, which will then place an alert on their versions of your report.
Review your credit report from inquiries from companies you have not contacted; accounts you did not open; and debts on your accounts that you cannot explain.
Close any accounts that you know, or believe, have been tampered with or opened fraudulently
File a report with your local police or the police in the community where the identity theft took place.
