Do I need to do anything to enroll in the Plan? A. No, you become a Participant automatically after you work one (1) hour in covered employment. ​ Q. What is the Plan Year? A. The Plan Year is January 1st through December 31st. ​ Q. When can I start Participating in the Plan? A. You must work at least one (1) hour in covered employment within a Plan Year. ​ Q. Who is eligible to become a Participant in the Plan? A. You are eligible to participate in the Plan if you work for an employer that is required to make contributions to the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan for the work you perform. For most Participants, this means working in a position covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the employer and the union. If you are an owner/operator, you can participate provided you contribute 40 hours per month. ​ ​ Q. How can I make my retirement account larger? A. You can increase your retirement nest egg by electing to have employee deferred contributions withheld from your weekly gross pay and placed in your elective account with the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan. Each October 1st through November 30th you are able to elect an amount per hour that you'd like withheld from your gross pay. This amount will be for that next full calendar year.

  • Health Frequently Asked Questions | Local 725 Benefits | United States

    FAQs This page contains Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Health Fund. Should you have a question or concern regarding your health coverage, contact the Benefit Office at 754-777-7735 or info@725benefits.org Health Fund Frequently Asked Questions Q. Who are my eligible dependents? A. Your lawful spouse; Your biological children up to age 26; Your legally adopted children up to age 26; Your step-children up to age 26; and Child for whom you have been appointed legal guardian by court for length of guardianship or to age 26, which occurs first Q. When do I become eligible for benefits? A. You will become initially eligible for benefits on the 1st day of the month after you have accumulated contributions paid by your employer of 400 or more employment hours during a 5 consecutive month period. ​ Q. How do I maintain my continued health care coverage? A. Once you have passed initial eligibility, to maintain your coverage, you must work at least 100 hours per month. If you do not work 100 hours per month but have sufficient hours in your hour bank to make up the difference, your coverage will be continued. ​ Q. I worked over the amount of hours needed for coverage, what happens to those additional hours? A. For any hours you work over 100 in a month, those exceeded hours are placed into your "hour bank", the maximum amount of exceeded hours allowed to be placed in the hour bank is 1,000 hours (10 months of coverage). You may utilize hours in your hour bank to assist you in maintaining coverage (i.e. You only worked 60 hours in a month, so you will be short by 40 hours for coverage but your hour bank has a balance of 200 hours. The Fund will withdrawal 40 hours from your bank and add those hours to the 60 hours you work to ensure you have continued coverage. After the withdrawal, your hour bank balance will be 160 hours). Q. How do I add my new baby or spouse to my insurance plan? A. You must submit a completed, signed Enrollment & Vital Information Form along with other required legal documentation to the Benefit office. You can download the Enrollment & Vital Information Form located under Health Care Document section on this website and mail it into the Benefit Office.
