- Beneficiary Card Alert

If you are one of our many members whose beneficiary card was last updated in the 1980s or 90s, or if you have any other reason to believe that your card may need to be updated, please contact Donna Thomson at 415-575-0777 ext. 307. She can check the beneficiaries named on your current card and mail you a new one if necessary.  We are certain that many of the cards in our files name people no longer living or people whose relationship to the member has changed. Your death benefit will be paid to the person named on your card. It is your responsibility to be sure that it is the right person.

Commentary: Tell Obama about the arts and health care
Posted by Adam Forest Huttler on the Fractured Atlas Blog, 5/21/09
The Obama administration is looking for personal stories about the need for health care reform. This is a great opportunity to ensure that the arts community isn't left out of this debate.  Remember that not all health care reform proposals are created equal. Some -- such as those designed to expand employer-based coverage -- would actually hurt our community more than help it.  We can't afford to give up our voice at this critical time for this critical issue.
