Vacation
Can I have my spouse or another designated person contact the fund office for any of my vacation balances?
For the members' protection, no information will be provided to anyone but the member. Signed HIPAA forms are not related to vacation; therefore no one but the member will be given any vacation information.

There is one Main Distribution in November that will include October through September work months. There is one Delinquent Distribution in January that will include any late work deposited through December for the prior October through September work months.
