"A" members (in good standing for at least 6 months) have life insurance that is offered at $6,250 for a natural death, $12,500 for accidental death.

 "A" members are also eligible for IBEW Pension benefits once they meet the age/year requirements. The current benefit is $4.50 per year for continuous good standing as an "A" member.

For Example: An A member in continuous good standing for 20 years is eligible for Normal Retirement at the age of 65. Upon completion of a pension application; the member will recieve $90 per month once they have retired from the electrical industry, and an additional $4.50 for each year of service.

 *"A" members must have at least 5 consecutive years in good standing at the retirement age of 65 to receive any type of pension benefit.

*If you are vested (have at least 20 years in good standing) then you may retire at an earlier age of 62. You must be 65 to receive the full benefit.
