The following notification was emailed to all members as part of the UFT Update on Sept. 9, 2025: 

The city and the Municipal Labor Committee (MLC) have reached a tentative agreement with EmblemHealth and United Healthcare for the New York City Employees PPO Plan (NYCE PPO), the proposed city health care plan that would replace the GHI CBP plan. HIP HMO, Senior Care and other city health plans would not be affected. This proposed plan expands our network of providers and scope of benefits, increases access to mental health care, protects us from rising copays and locks in premium-free coverage for five years. Check out our plan FAQs and this helpful comparison chart.  We are holding an all-member info session this Tuesday, Sept. 9, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.; check your email for an invitation to register. The member-led UFT Health Care Committee voted on Aug. 28 to recommend the proposed plan to the Delegate Assembly, which will vote on the plan at a special session on Sept. 29. The UFT will ultimately cast its vote on the proposed plan in the Municipal Labor Committee (MLC) in line with the DA's vote.
