Active Members, Non-Medicare Retirees and Dependents.

You must earn 360 Hours of Work to satisfy the Plan's initial eligibility requirements. Your coverage will begin the second month after you satisfy the Plan's initial eligibility requirements.

You will be eligible to pay to continue your health coverage under COBRA.

You must have 120 Hours of Work credited to your hour bank within 3 months of the month in which it dropped below 120, to regain coverage. If you don't, you must reestablish initial eligibility, by again working 360 hours.

You must have at least 120 Hours of Work in your hour bank. If your Employer timely makes contributions on your behalf, you will be credited with your Hours of Work in the month you work the Hours to provide coverage two months later.

You will have 45 days from the date you elect COBRA to make your initial Self-Payment. The payment amount is established by the Board of Trustees, and is adjusted from time-to-time. This initial Self-Payment must include the COBRA payments due from the date you lost coverage through the end of the last full month before you pay. (This could mean payment for more than one month of coverage is due at one time.) Before the end of the grace period, which is the 30th of the month in which you pay, you must submit payment for that month. Subsequent payments are due on the first day of the coverage month. All payments must be made by check timely sent to the COBRA Administrator.
