Receiving Your Redemption
For all Vacation Benefits authorized prior to 12 pm on Friday, May 24, initial payments are scheduled to begin on Friday, May 31. After 12 pm on May 24, and before Friday, June 7, direct deposits will be made within 3 – 5 days from the date of redemption. After June 10, direct deposits may take up to 7 – 10 days.

Benevolent Fund Reminder
The Benevolent Fund, which was funded through mandatory contributions deducted from a member’s Vacation Benefit during Vacation Redemption, is no longer an active council benefit. The MACRC now provides benefits for a member killed on-the-job through the Midwest Coalition of Labor (MCL). Visit carpentersunion.org for more information.
