NECA IBEW Benefit Trust Funds - Decatur

🌎⚡ Happy Earth Day

Today, we’re proud to recognize the impact our members make every day.

From powering homes and businesses to supporting the future of energy, electrical workers play an important role in building stronger, more sustainable communities.

Thank you for all that you do.

🧠 April is Stress Awareness Month

Life can get busy—and sometimes overwhelming. Taking a moment to check in with yourself can make a difference.

If you need support, your benefits include options like the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Teladoc, making it easier to connect with help when and where you need it.

These resources are here when you need them. Learn more about your benefits on our website.

🌎✨ Today, on World Cancer Day, we pause to reflect on cancer’s impact—globally and in the lives of our team members, families, and communities.

At NECA-IBEW, we believe investing in our employees’ health is investing in a brighter future. That’s why we’ve partnered with Color to make it easier for our team to prioritize their health and access care when they need it most.

Through Color, our employees receive:

● At-home early detection screening tests
● Direct access to oncologists, nurses, mental health experts, and dieticians nationwide
● Care advocates available 7 days a week to connect people to the care they need faster
● Support while navigating treatment and returning to work
● Clinically-validated mental health resources through treatment and survivorship

Together with Color, we’re helping our team take control of cancer—supporting not just treatment, but the journey to a healthier tomorrow.

We’re excited to announce a new benefit now available through the NECA-IBEW Welfare Trust Fund — Color Health, a cancer screening and support program created in partnership with the American Cancer Society.

Color makes it easier to stay on top of your health with:
✅ At-home cancer screening kits
✅ Virtual visits with cancer experts
✅ Help scheduling in-person screenings

And the best part? It’s all available at no cost to eligible participants, spouses, and dependents over 18 — including retirees and their spouses.

🎉 Enroll by June 15 and you’ll be automatically entered to win a Series 10 Apple Watch!
