Elfun Myth Busters: GE Elfun Greater Cincinnati Ohio Chapter ELFUN Myth: Must have a certain status at the company (career band, pay-level) to join FACT: This used to be an entry requirement along with a nomination process. Today, Elfun is open to all GE employees, both active or retired, across all businesses regardless of band or level. Myth Members must contribute a certain number of volunteer hours. FACT: This requirement was abandoned prior to the GE Volunteers / Elfun split in 2005. Today, all GE Volunteer efforts are coordinated through the GE Volunteers organization, not through GE Elfun. Myth: Elfun = GE Volunteers FACT: Effective 7/1/05, there is only one GE Volunteer organization for the company which includes all affinity and networking groups such as AAF, APAF, Elfun, GESNA, GEWN, GLBT, HF, etc. Myth: Inactive Elfuns must continue paying dues to receive health and medical benefits. FACT: Elfun members who were qualified for Elfun health and medical benefits at the 2005 split remain qualified for previous benefits regardless of dues payment. Annual Membership dues of $25 qualifies members as Active for benefits list on this flyer and any new benefits obtained. Engagement Linking the GE generations Fellowship and fun!
