Dental Insurance for AFSCME and PSU/MTA Units A & B

Dental and vision coverages are effective the first day of the month following 6 months of covered employment at no cost to the member. The plan administrator, Massachusetts Public Employees Fund (MPE), mails plan information and enrollment instructions to an eligible employee's home approximately one month prior to the effective date of coverage.
