MEBA Vacation Plan Year-End Closing Deadlines – Apply for Vacation and Port Relief Benefits early to avoid the year-end rush.
FILING DEADLINE: The deadline for issuing Vacation and Port Relief checks (including direct deposit) dated in 2022 at the Outports and the Plan Office is Friday, 12/16/2022.
FINAL DIRECT DEPOSIT for 2022 will be made by the Plan Office on 12/19/2022 and the funds will be deposited into bank accounts on 12/21/2022.
Any requests for Port Relief and Vacation checks received after 12/16/2022 at 12:00 PM EST will be paid in the order received beginning 1/3/2023.
Any member who requires that his/her check be dated in 2022 must file before this deadline. Remember, Monday December 26, 2022 and Monday January 2, 2023 are holidays and the Outports and the Plan Office will be closed. It is always wise to plan ahead, so you should verify the specific holiday schedule with the Plan Office Representative.
Split Your Vacation Payments between 2022 and 2023
You can submit an Application for Vacation Pay prior to the end of the year and request that the payment of your vacation benefits be split. Two checks will be issued to you, one in 2022 and a second in 2023. The 12/16/2022 deadline applies to split claims also. The vacation benefits paid in this manner MUST be a continuous vacation period.
