Did you know the Plans have a website? www.DGAPlans.org is the best resource for the most up-to-date information about the Plans’ health and pension benefits, important announcements and updates, and departmental contacts and forms—all available 24 hours a day/7 days a week.

The figures that follow highlight three key areas of the homepage along with brief overviews of the information you can find there.
Section 1: All the Essentials
The top section of the DGAPlans.org homepage includes links to essential information about the Plans, the Plans’ office, pension and health benefits and featured announcements, all described below.
- About Us and Contact Us: Click the “About Us” link to find information on the Plans’ history and a list of the Plans’ Trustees. Click “Contact Us” for a list of the Plans’ departments, including descriptions, phone and fax numbers, email addresses and instructions for scheduling video meetings.
- Main Navigation Bar: Links to all the site’s information, divided by subject area. You can hover over a link to access sub-topics for that area. For example, if you hover over Pension Plans, you’ll find a link to the Pension Plans’ Investment Program pages, which provide information regarding the Plans’ investment portfolios, as well as current and historical investment return information.

Section 2: More Navigation and Specific Information for Non-US Participants
The next section of the homepage provides much of the same navigation available in the top navigation bar with one notable exception: specific information for participants who live outside the United States, including information about understanding how Health Plan benefits apply outside the U.S., submitting claims, finding doctors outside of the U.S., and special pension benefits considerations applicable to non-US participants.
Section 3: Benefits Information Compiled by Life Event
Sometimes you want only information applicable to a specific situation or life event, like the birth of a child, a new marriage or an approaching retirement. The third section of the homepage compiles applicable pension and health benefits information according to common life events like these to provide specific, point-by-point guidance on what to do and how your benefits might change as your life changes.
