BrightNow! Dental
Through a special agreement with Bright Now! Dental, RPEC members and their families have this Members Only Benefit. Because of Bright Now! Dental’s long-standing relationships with unions they are able to bring you this special offer. This is not an insurance plan, but works in conjunction with the dental benefits through Uniform or, if you currently do not have dental benefits, on a cash basis. There is no cost to participate, no restrictions and no per-visit charges.

AFSCME Advantage College Benefit
The AFSCME Advantage college benefit is through a partnership with 4 different institutions for earning an Associate Degree and 2 universities for earning a Bachelor’s Degree which provides members and their families access to affordable education at accredited institutions. The 2-year institutions operate under a reduced tuition model providing in-state and out-of-state students with comparable and low-cost credit hours. The 4-year universities offer low-cost debt-free options for students to complete their college studies through a combination of need-based and merit-based awards to offset out-of-pocket costs.
These programs are accessible not only to you, but to members of your family as well. You and your family can capitalize on this opportunity to earn an education at an affordable cost!
