Today is the 47th anniversary of the EBF! The agreement between New York State and CSEA President Bill McGowan was signed 47 years ago today, May 4, 1979. Originally, the EBF only covered New York State members. Coverage for Local government and retirees came later. As of last week’s count, our membership now totals over 301,000. We look forward to continuing to provide quality benefits to our members and their families!
