VSEA still has not received a list from the Scott Administration or DHR that clearly shows there is a substitute for each of the 170 prescription drugs included on a list provided last week to VSEA of soon-to-be banned prescription drugs. This is creating a lot of employee anxiety, confusion and anger across state government, and VSEA truly hopes an A to B list will be delivered very soon.

Each spring, the VSEA Awards & Scholarship Committee solicits scholarship applications from VSEA members and their spouses, dependents and domestic partners. The application process is easy, requiring the applicant to write a couple of short essays as well as provide a grade history, employment history, personal references and a few other things.
All applications received before May 8, 2018, will be reviewed by Committee members, who will then decide from among all this year’s eligible candidates who is awarded a 2018 VSEA scholarship.
Winners will be announced at the VSEA Council’s June 2018 meeting.

If you have specific questions or complaints, please call DHR here: 802-828-6700 (press #1 then #3).
If Ms. Fastiggi is bold enough to declare on television that no one’s medication is going to be cut off, VSEA members must assume that a "direct point A to point B" list now exists and they have determined that no one will be harmed, right?
If talking with DHR, VSEA members are urged to ask for a copy of any list DHR can produce showing an equivalent exists for all 170 of the banned drugs. Your union will continue to ask as well.
Call DHR Here: 802-828-6700 (press #1 then #3).
If you can only get an answer for the drug(s) on the list that you currently take, please share this information with VSEA at vsea@vsea.org and your union will begin to compile its own list, based on what members/retirees learn. Write "DHR Drug List" in your email’s subject line. Thanks in advance for the help!
