Financial Issues for Local and State Union Officers:
APWU Accident Benefit Association
Formed by postal railway clerks in 1898, the Accident Benefit Association (ABA) today is a non-profit organization operated by the union to provide benefits to APWU members and their beneficiaries in case of temporary disability, dismemberment, or death resulting directly from a covered accident.
Whether you are injured on the job or off, both the ABA's Advantage and Value plans offer financial benefits — even if you are also eligible for OWCP or other compensation.
To learn more about ABA's benefits, contact your local president or visit the ABA's Web site, www.apw-aba.org.
