Eligibility & Enrollment
Following local government elections, elected officials have four (4) months to enroll. There must be a minimum of three (3) elected official applicants in your local government to enroll. Enrollment must be for the full term of office. Applications made by local governments that do not currently have their staff benefit plans under the UBCM Group Benefits Plan may be reviewed for consideration.
The most recent deadline for enrollment has now passed. Information on the UBCM Group Benefits Plan for elected Officials can be found in our UBCM Group Benefits Plan: Group Insurance for Elected Officials Guide.
