URA members now have an additional tool in the event of a natural disaster or certain events resulting in financial hardship.
Criteria to apply for the $100 relief includes:
- Layoff. Priority will be given to members who are laid off indefinitely without a recall date. URA may offer relief based on the negotiated layoff notifications from management.
- Disaster relief in area of damage (hurricane, major flood, etc), major loss to primary residence, personal vehicle. Catastrophic loss due to fire or other localized disaster at member’s primary residence. Please provide insurance claim or FEMA claim.
- Member’s unpaid medical leave / family leave lasting more than eight weeks. To be eligible, leave must not be covered by income-replacement program such as TDI, SSI, NJFLA or Rutgers Compassionate Leave.
Please review the form and if applicable, apply for direct relief from your union.
