4 Ways Your Union Membership Can Help You with Financial Wellness in 2020

We work hard for the money we earn. But, they don’t teach about money and credit in school, so many of us never learn how to handle money and debt. In America 38% of homes have credit card debt and the average family owes over $16,000.

If this sounds familiar, just know you’re not alone. Union members and their families can get services that will get you on the right track. 

1.     Debt Settlement: A big unexpected expense can put you into debt quickly. Through our UnionPlus Program union members receive a free debt evaluation that can help you 1.) reduce what you owe; 2.) get out of debt faster; and 3.) pay less interest on your debt.

2.     Budget Analysis & Credit Counseling: Union members can get free credit advice, expert help on a budget and money advice to get you on track and keep you on track. You can fill out the private form here.

3.     Debt Management Plan Grant: If your family is like so many others out there, you may need more help. Experts can help you come up with a monthly plan to be free from debt. Union members can get their monthly fees back after completing a year program.

4.     Personal Loan: If you don’t have that much debt, but would like to stop paying high interest rates on your credit cards, a personal loan might be for you. They are low interest and designed for union members.

Retirement is a major life goal for all of us. No matter what type of retirement you want, getting their means saving money for your future. Helping our union members get there is a major goal for our union family. Your union membership is about more than what is in your contract, it’s about a whole package of benefits you get.
