Introducing Enhanced Coverage for CDL Holders with the NEW Teamsters VIP+ Plan
The NEW Teamsters VIP+ Plan extends coverage to CDL holders who lose their license due to medical disqualification. Following guidelines established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), interstate commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders are mandated to submit a current medical certificate to the State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA) responsible for issuing their CDL. If your CDL is denied for medical reasons, the VIP+ Plan can provide valuable income while you seek medical attention and work your way back to being medically qualified.
We’re pleased to announce that the NEW Teamsters VIP+ Plan now offers both short and long-term income replacement options for CDL holders who fail to medically qualify. Whether you’re facing temporary setbacks or long-term challenges, our VIP+ Plan has you covered. Learn more about how we can support you through any medical qualification hurdles.
