Registration
-
What are the reasons why I may not be able to register?
There are several reasons which may prevent you from successfully registering such as: information you entered during registration does not match our records; an account already exists under your Member ID/SSN; your family has a privacy restriction on the account; we do not have your SSN on file to authenticate your account; you have not had TeamCare eligibility in the past two years; you are under the age of 18.
-
I am a member and after typing my Member ID (806 or SSN) and ZIP code I receive a login error, why?
It’s possible the information we have on file does not match what you entered. If you’ve recently updated your ZIP code with us, it may take up to a week for our systems to recognize and allow access. Or, it could be that you have not been eligible for TeamCare benefits for over two years. If you need to reestablish eligibility or these situations do not apply to you, please contact us using the Message Center or at 1-800-TEAMCARE (1-800-832-6227).
-
I am a registered member and when I try to log in to TeamCare I receive an error stating that I am not a member, why?
If you are a registered member and you are not able to access the TeamCare site due to this error, please contact us using the Message Center or at 1-800-TEAMCARE (1-800-832-6227).

When I am logged in to TeamCare, can I access your Pension site without logging in again?

-
Why am I not receiving emails from TeamCare?
A: You may not be receiving TeamCare emails, such as your email verification message, for a variety of reasons. First, check your spam folder to make sure the email is not caught there. If the emails aren’t in your spam folder, it’s possible that our messages are blocked by your company’s network. To make sure you’re receiving emails from us, have your company’s IT whitelist noreply@myteamcare.org.
If you have taken these steps and still not received emails from TeamCare, please call 1-800-TEAMCARE (1-800-832-6227).
