Member Discounts
Your membership in the Chicago Teachers Union not only benefits you with support, protection and advocacy. A variety of businesses and concerns offer special discounts to CTU members.
Dental Benefits
The Chicago Teachers Union itself does not offer any type of medical or dental plans for members. All plans for active Chicago Public Schools employees are through CPS. Neither CTU nor the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund (CTPF) offer dental plans.
However, the retiree dental plans listed below all offer discounts for CTU members. If you are a retiree member provide the identification number listed on your CTU membership card to receive the discount. The three dental companies that offer a CTU discount are:
- Delta Dental – 800-323-1743
- Guardian – 708-361-0002
- RTA/MetLife – 312-750-1522
Please call any of the three companies and they will help you find a policy that fits your needs.
