Prevailing wage rates are required to include the "benefit" value, usually expressed as a "supplement" to the hourly wage rate. That "supplement" can be paid in wages (subject to taxes) or paid to a benefit fund (typically union benefit fund) for the employee. If the "supplement" amount was never paid to you, you would have a legal right to pursue payment of that amount. Feel free to contact me to discuss, I handle these sort of cases in New York and am licensed to practice law in New York. 800-257-4841
