This form registers you with the Benefit Plan Office for your insurance and pension, including making sure your spouse and dependent children are covered for health care. Your Club should provide this to you when you are added to the 40-man roster, but you can call the Benefit Plan Office directly if you are unsure.

Use this form to name a beneficiary or beneficiaries for your life insurance and make sure you keep this up to date whenever anything changes (e.g., married/divorced, etc.). It is important to protect your family by keeping your beneficiaries up to date to avoid any confusion related to your insurance proceeds going where you want them to go in the event of your death.

If you change your phone number, email or mailing address, use this form (and call the Benefit Plan Office) to keep these up to date – they need to know how to reach you for important things related to your healthcare, pension and other benefits.

If you become married, divorced, or have a child, use this form (and call the Benefit Plan Office) immediately to make sure your spouse or child are added to your health insurance coverage, which will cover them for any medical, dental, or prescription drug needs.

If you were on a 40-man roster last year but are not on the 40-man roster after Opening Day, “COBRA” is for the continuation of your health care benefits under the Major League Plan. These forms will be mailed to you, but you can also call the Benefit Plan Office to complete the forms and start paying the premiums to keep your health care coverage for you and your family for up to 24 months. Note that (1) you can choose from 3 lower to higher cost options, (2) your Club will start paying the premiums if you are called back up to the Major League team, and (3) if you do not continue your coverage, the only way to get back on the Major League health care Plan is if you return to active Major League service as a Player or designated coach.

Call the Benefit Plan Office and use the form they provide after the 24-month COBRA period ends AND/OR to switch between the 3 health care Plan options up to once per year. Inactive Players with 4 or more years of Major League service who have completed the 24-month COBRA period may stay on the plan (and continue paying the premiums) past that time, and must elect one of the inactive plan options if they want to continue coverage.
