Master Benefit Plan Documents

The Master Benefit Plan Document (MBPD Plan Year 2025 Effective 9/1/24) (548KB) describes TIPP benefits available to eligible employees. It includes information regarding:

  • who is eligible;
  • when coverage begins and ends;
  • how benefits are calculated;
  • when benefits are not payable (called Limitations and Exclusions);
  • how benefits are paid; and
  • more about the TIPP program.

The Master Benefit Plan Document (MBPD Plan Year 2025 Effective 9/1/24) (548KB) supersedes all other print and electronic documentation about the TIPP program.
