Dear PARA Member,
We have some very good news: the benefit for hearing aid coverage has increased!
Effective 1/1/2024, the United Healthcare coverage for hearing aid benefits has increased to $2,500 as the annual maximum, limited to a pair of hearing aids every three years. Your United Healthcare benefit includes medical treatment by your doctor and/or audiologist, the hearing aid device(s), the fitting, and testing. Repairs and/or replacement of your hearing aids are only covered if they malfunction, or every three years. Please go to PARA’s website to get more details about the hearing benefits.
As of 2024, PARA members can pay their dues online. If you have not paid your 2024 dues as yet, or aren’t sure if you have, or want to update your contact information, please visit this page and follow the instructions. It is far easier than filling out the paper dues form, writing a check, putting a stamp on the envelope, and mailing it. Online dues payments are secure, as is your contact information. PARA will continue to accept dues payments by check for those who prefer this method, mailed to Port Authority Retirees Assoc., Inc., P.O. Box 698, Old Bridge, NJ 08857. Please note this address if you use an older PARA remittance envelope.
Thank you for being a part of the PARA community, keeping your dues up-to-date and sharing this latest news with your fellow PA and PATH retirees.
Sincerely,
Your PARA Board
