Did You Know? Your Benefits Are There for You — Before You Need Them
Many unionized K-12 support staff only learn about their benefits during a stressful time — like a sudden illness, injury, or family emergency. But your PEBT benefits are designed to support you well before a crisis happens.
Your Public Education Benefits Trust (PEBT) coverage includes early intervention services, disability protection, extended health and dental benefits. Taking a few minutes now to understand what’s available can help you make informed decisions, avoid delays, and reduce stress later on.
Here are a few ways to get started:
- Visit pebt.ca to explore your benefit plan details.
- Bookmark the website so you can easily find forms, contacts, and coverage information when you need it.
- Learn about the Joint Early Intervention Service (JEIS), which offers help if illness or injury affects your ability to work — often before your sick leave runs out.
- Review your Long Term Disability coverage so you know the steps if you ever need to apply.
A little preparation now goes a long way. Understanding your benefits today means you’ll be ready to use them confidently tomorrow.
