HEALTH CARE REFORM: A TIMELINE
The new health care reform law that President Obama signed is complex and will take time to become fully implemented. Here's a report on the UAW website and timeline by Congressional Quarterly for when certain segments of the law are to take place:

UAW VEBA for post retirement health care benefits for UAW retirees:

“GM has successfully completed the transition of post retirement health care benefits for UAW retirees to the UAW VEBA as of midnight on 12/31/09. In the event you have questions about the VEBA, you should call 866-637-7555. Please note that active UAW employees, salaried employees and salaried retirees should continue to direct their health care coverage/benefits questions to the GM Benefits & Services Center. UAW retirees should continue to contact the GM Benefits & Services Center for questions not related to post-retirement health care.”
