Mutual Benevolence Plan (MBP)

OkACTE & CCOSA Mutual Benevolence Plan (MBP) organizes and facilitates the voluntary, monetary contributions to the beneficiary of an eligible member upon the death of that member. Each program participant contributes to the Mutual Benevolence Plan fund to provide financial assistance to the beneficiary of an active member of the program.
