As treasurer or administrator of an ELCA congregation or organization, you will often be looked to as the first source of information on pension and benefits. Those members enrolled in the ELCA program will also rely on you to make their benefit contributions. Whether volunteer or paid, your role is important in caring for the health and welfare needs of those who serve. We thank you for your dedication and invite you to contact the Board of Pensions whenever you have questions or need additional information. Upon enrollment in the ELCA Pension and Other Benefits Program, a member is enrolled in all of the four plans listed below.
Helps build financial security and can provide lifetime, monthly retirement income.
Offers comprehensive health coverage for the member and eligible family members. The plan covers most hospital, surgical, physician, dental and prescription drug expenses. Helps replace lost income if a member becomes disabled. Provides benefits to survivors when a member dies. Enables members to accumulate additional tax-deferred savings through salary reduction.
