About Our VEBA
As you may recall, the Goodyear Retiree VEBA was agreed to in December, 2006 during the labor negotiations between Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and Goodyear Dunlop Tires NA (“Goodyear”) and the United Steelworkers (“USW”). In October, 2007 a Settlement Agreement was reached with representatives of a class of retirees who had retired on or before January 1, 2007, and who had filed a lawsuit in the Federal Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The Federal Court approved that settlement on August 22, 2008. On that date, responsibility for your health care benefits was transferred from Goodyear to the VEBA
Committee.

more about OUR Veba
“Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association.”
A VEBA means “Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association.” That is a term contained in the Internal Revenue Code to identify a type of trust fund that can hold and use assets for the purpose of providing health care and similar benefits for groups of individuals who are designated as VEBA participants. In the case of the Goodyear VEBA, eligible participants include USW-represented retirees of Goodyear, surviving spouses, and eligible dependent spouses and
children.
Our VEBA Office is staffed with eight employees whose responsibility is to help VEBA participants receive the benefits to which they are entitled.
The staff routinely answers questions, provides information, helps to enroll new participants, interacts with our health plan claims administrators (e.g. Anthem and Express Scripts) and reports to the Committee on the overall operation of the VEBA.
You are encouraged to contact the VEBA Office by calling toll-free 1 (866) 694-6477 between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm EST if you have any questions regarding the VEBA, your benefits, or need individual assistance.
