A: One of the advantages to the contractor signing with the Carpenters union is that all benefits are paid into one fund; you write one check and it is dispersed. This eliminates the hassle of making payments to several entities like health, dental, a 401k, and so on

When purchasing benefits through our fund, you will receive regular benefit stamps, which record the hours of benefits purchased. These stamps, along with their check stub, are receipts for the members that provide proof of purchase.
