Weight loss made simple

All regular employees scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week following 30 days of service are eligible to join WeightWatchers through 1199SEIU Benefit Funds for $0.00*. This is a benefit that is available only to members with major medical coverage through the 1199SEIU National Benefit Fund (including New York and Rochester plans) and unreduced early retiree coverage; the 1199SEIU Greater New York Benefit Fund (including New York and New Jersey plans); or the 1199SEIU Home Care Benefit Fund; it is also available to members of the 1199SEIU Licensed Practitioner Nurses Welfare Fund. The Funds will subsidize all or a portion of the membership costs for certain eligible members and eligible diabetic and prediabetic dependents, and all eligible dependents may take advantage of the Funds’ discounted rate for WeightWatchers membership.
