Relationship Changes .....

• Marriage - You must enroll your spouse with the Fund and add your spouse to your medical plan.  To enroll your spouse, complete a new Participant Data form and mail to the Administrative office with a recorded copy of your marriage certificate.

• Divorce - You must notify the Administrative office immediately of any change in marital status.  A divorced spouse is not eligible for plan benefits even though a court order is issued requiring you to provide health benefits.  You will be held personally liable in the event you fail to notify the Administrative office of a change in marital status if a claim by your former spouse is mistakenly paid by the Trust Fund for services after that date.

• Domestic Partners - Domestic partners are not covered by most of the Trust Funds.  Please check with your Area Administrative Office for your Plan's rules.

Please note:  Events indicated with an * are those which require separate notification/actions with the Pension Plan.  For further information, call the Pension customer service at 1 (800) 845-0571.

Events Affecting Children ......

• Birth - Your new baby is covered from birth but in order to avoid delays in coverage or eligibility issues, you must enroll your baby with the Trust Fund.  Complete the Participant Data Form and mail with a certified copy of the birth certificate to the Administrative office.

• Age 19 -Your dependent children are covered up to their 19th birthday as long as they live in a parent/child relationship with you and are dependent upon you for support.

• Student Status - Coverage under your medical plan may be extended for as long as your child maintains full-time student status and is dependent on you for support, but only through the age established by your Trust.  A certification of school enrollment must be submitted at  the start of each new session and a transcript of grades for the prior session showing the  units completed must be submitted  upon request.

• Disabled Child - Coverage for your child who is incapable of self-sustaining employment because of a mental or physical handicap will not be terminated at age 19 if the child is chiefly dependent upon you for support,  provided that written evidence of such incapacity is submitted to the Fund prior to your child reaching age 19.

*Death ......

• Questions of whether or not you have a Life benefit for yourself or any other member of your family, the amount and beneficiary cards, may be obtained by calling the Administrative office.    It is important to notify your Area Administrative Office of the death of any dependent covered under your Plan.  Please contact the Pension Plan at  1 800 845-0571 to report the death of a member.
