Enrolling in the UFT's Supplemental Health Insurance Program (SHIP) is a quick and easy process. Here's how to get your SHIP enrollment up and running: 

Step 1: Are you enrolled in the Retired Teachers Chapter? 

SHIP is available only to UFT members enrolled in the Retired Teachers Chapter (RTC). If you haven't joined the RTC already, enrollment is a two-step process: 

1. Register as a user on the UFT website. If you already have an account on the UFT website, you can skip this step.
2. Re-enroll in the UFT as a retiree member and join the RTC. 

Register & Enroll
