Settled Suit
Brings Benefits for Rail Workers In an agreement reached earlier this month, MetLife agreed to set up a program to notify railroad workers and their families who might be eligible for a $2,000 death benefit under certain MetLife group life policies. The unpaid benefit, which was included in certain contracts between railroads and labor unions as far back as 1966, covered workers at 20 rail unions, including the IAM. Additionally, MetLife has agreed to publish notices in federal Railroad Retirement Pension Board newsletters and on state insurance department Internet sites. If you believe that you may be eligible for benefits or have information regarding individuals who may be eligible, please contact MetLife’s Railroad Operations Center at 1-800-310-7770. Proof of eligibility (including proof of death) will be necessary to process each claim and MetLife will make all claim determinations. MetLife representatives will answer your questions and, if appropriate, assist you in filing a claim.
