SICK BENEFITS Included in your Touro annual dues is a Sick Benefit plan under which qualified regular members can collect up to 15 weeks of sick benefits.
MORTUARY BENEFIT Since its inception in 1918 Touro has paid a mortuary benefit to qualified beneficiaries of regular members. All new regular members receive a benefit of $4,000.
