Improved vision care benefits now available CLEVELAND, February 17 -- The newly ratified BLET National Agreement provides an improved vision care plan. BLET members were formerly covered by the Railroad Employees National Vision Plan and are now covered by the VSP Standard Plan. This new plan is automatically available for any BLET member working under the National Agreement. Among the improvements, the VSP Standard Plan increases frame allowances from $75 to $115, and pays for lenses up to 61 mm in full (55 mm with previous plan). In addition, the VSP Standard Plan offers a more extensive network of providers. A chart comparing the VSP Standard Plan with the former plan can be viewed by following this link: http://www.ble.org/pr/pdf/vsp.pdf Tuesday, February 17, 2004 bentley@ble.org © 1997-2010 Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen
