HEP Compliance for those without State Dental Coverage
Those who do not have State dental coverage may be receiving letters from Care Management Solutions (CMS) stating non-compliance due to the absence of dental cleanings. If you are not enrolled in the State's dental plan, you do not need to complete the 2 annual cleanings. There is no action that needs to be taken to resolve this issue; the letters of non-compliance are inaccurate for this situation and HEP compliance will not be impacted
COPE Political Contributions
COPE means Committee On Political Education. It is the AFL-CIO political support organization. Contributions to COPE are divided half to the State Council and half to Local 6025.

A Message from Andy Pollotta About Merit Pay
We must always be on the lookout for education gimmicks, games and schemes.
Under merit pay, teachers would be pitted against one another in a high-stakes monetary game, encouraged to treat students and their education as playing cards in the race around the Monopoly board.
Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to oppose any misguided merit pay scheme!
Any system that creates a competitive, rather than collaborative, school climate where students are viewed as part of the salary equation rather than as children who deserve the best possible education raises real concerns.
What makes sense is a career ladder program that provides extra pay for other assignments such as mentoring newer educators, earning advanced degrees or working in hard-to-staff schools.
Take action now at the NYSUT Member Action Center to oppose any misguided merit pay scheme!
Help us oppose any merit pay gimmick and send a message loud and clear that it's time for solutions, not more schemes.
In solidarity,
Andrew Pallotta
NYSUT Executive Vice President
P.S.: Education is collaboration, not competition! Help us stop any merit pay scheme!
