New Member Benefits Program
By: Brian Zibuda President of ABZ Benefits

As you might imagine, the effort to fund our organization is a never-ending one and 2020 has been especially challenging for us all.

But instead of raising dues or selling you products, we’ve discovered a better way for you, and us, to earn extra cash, simply by doing what we all already do – shopping online!
We are now introducing Cash Back Connections which provides a win-win fundraising program for organizations. Members and supporters get cash back on what they buy, and The Grange wins by earning revenue on what our members spend when shopping online through our customized platform. The program is free for us and free for you as a valuable supporter.

Please visit our fundraising site today at http://www.cashbackconnections.com/grange. There you can sign up for free and start earning cash back that will be crucial for our organization.
onal goals, with starkly different views about the current state, direction, and future of the country.

From the FCC

Contact tracing is a public health technique used to identify individuals who have had close contact with someone known to have the virus. Because of the urgent need to notify those that may have been exposed and prevent larger outbreaks, tracers will often use a variety of methods to contact the individual, including calls and text messages.

Scammers follow the headlines and have started impersonating contact tracers. Patrick Webre, Chief of the FCC’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau recently addressed this scam in an interview with ABC New York’s 7 On Your Side. https://abc7ny.com/7-on-your-side-covid-scams-coronavirus-covid-19/6345390/

Be aware, legitimate contact tracers will not ask for:

Insurance information
Bank account information
Credit card numbers
Social Security numbers
or payment

If a caller asks for any of the above, hang up.

Contact tracers will also never reveal the identity of the person who tested positive. They will also be able to provide current local testing locations.

Scammers are also using text messages to impersonate contact tracers. Never click on a link in a text message from an unknown sender, it may install malware onto your device or take you to a phony website designed to collect personal information.

Learn more about contact tracing scams by visiting: https://www.fcc.gov/fear-fuels-covid-19-contact-tracing-scams.

Check with your state’s health department or COVID-19 task force to learn how they are implementing contact tracing and how they plan to contact individuals who have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Contact tracing methods may vary by state. The FCC’s COVID-19 Consumer Guide has information about coronavirus scams and how you can avoid becoming a victim, along with helpful tips on cell phone hygiene and optimizing your home wireless network, and more.

MEMBER BENEFITS: AFLAC Supplemental Health Benefit



Supplemental Health Benefits are available to National Grange members, the member’s spouse and the member’s dependent children through AFLAC.

These supplemental benefit policies pay cash directly to the members for members to use as they see fit. Members will never receive a 1099 or be taxed in any way on the cash benefits paid from these policies.

Cash benefits are paid if Grange members (policy holders) have an accident and use the services of a hospital emergency room or urgent care center, contract internal cancer, experience a heart attack or stroke, need major organ transplants, use certain services of their dentist and more.

Please go to www.aflac.com/nationalgrange or call Theon Karabatsos at 561-398-1204 or email [email protected]

So many of us are getting inundated with political emails on social media and in our inboxes as we get close to the presidential election in November, but some of that material is actually coming from scammers.
