The mission of the Benefit Funds Office is to properly administer the plans of benefits and deliver superior service to our members in all respects.
The New York City District Council of Carpenters Benefit Funds are administered by a joint Board of Trustees consisting of union-designated and employer-designated trustees. The Board of Trustees is responsible for establishing benefits, adopting rules and regulations, and overseeing the operations of the Funds, with the assistance of the Executive Director and numerous plan professionals. The Executive Director reports directly to the Board of Trustees, manages the Funds Office, and oversees the day-to-day activities of the Funds.
The NYCDCC Benefit Funds provides comprehensive, valuable benefits to over 25,000 working and retired carpenters — members of NYCDCC — and their families. Through the Welfare, Pension, Annuity and Apprenticeship Funds, NYCDCC members enjoy health, vacation, and scholarship benefits, a defined monthly pension at retirement, a defined contribution benefit, and apprenticeship and journeymen training, all at little or no cost to the members.
