Benefits
Reminder……..
If you purchase additional Voluntary Life Insurance from the company the cost is relative to your wage. There have been a lot of calls about an increase in life insurance premiums. This is due to the recent pay raise we received in the new contract.
401K Match
American Airlines previously communicated that company contributions for eligible earnings in May paychecks would be deposited by June 10, and you would be able to see them in your Fidelity account no later than today, June 11.
Due to the extensive manual process and validation efforts related to this first transaction post-ratification, the funds were deposited , June 11, and you should be able to see them in your Fidelity account June 12.
Please note that while the May 1 paycheck includes some hours worked in April, you’ll still receive a company contribution based on the new, higher JCBA rate for all hours included in that paycheck.
With the first transaction completed the company stated, moving forward a monthly deposit will be made to your Fidelity account by the 10th of each month for the prior month’s eligible earnings. This contribution will be visible in your 401(k) account with Fidelity the day after the deposit.
This pattern will continue until the JCBA company contributions and matching contributions have been programmed, which will be completed no later than Jan. 1, 2021.

The CARES Act allowed people to take a loan from their 401K or defer payment of existing loans. To this date, 2300 people have taken advantage of the CARES Act loan. For more information go to Fidelity.com.
