FAQ's - Where is my check??

Title:

Where is my check??

Body:

The $35 wellness benefit checks will be mailed out once per month, in mid-month. Thus a worker who is tested just after checks are mailed could experience a delay of 4-5 weeks until the next batch is mailed out. Please allow for a few days for postal delivery to your residence of record.

Please note that checks are issued for baseline and random tests but NOT for unannounced tests that are required as part of EAP/return to work obligations for up to two years following a failed test.

Bargaining workers with out-of-area dispatch cards who are working for out-of-area contractors outside of the SMACNAWW jurisdiction when they are tested are not eligible for wellness checks.

Checks may also be delayed for the following reasons:

There is no employee listed in the database to which test results can be matched. SNAP must investigate and get name added.
The worker only provided the last 4 digits of the SS#. SNAP must look up and manually enter the other digits.
There is no SS# or the worker’s name is not legible. DFB must investigate and manually enter the information.
The worker has not kept his/her mailing address current with Local #66 and/or is unaware that a spouse has received and deposited the check.

Bargaining workers with out-of-area dispatch cards are eligible to receive wellness checks only if they are actively working in the SMACNAWW jurisdiction when they are tested.
In accordance with the SNAP Admin Guide, only Local #66 workers are eligible to receive this payment.
We still have a few checks that have been returned because of "unable to forward" etc. If you believe that your check is missing, please let us know.
