Q.

Who is eligible to become a Participant in the Plan?

A.

You are eligible to participant in the Plan if you work for an Employer that is required to make contributions to the Health and Welfare Plan for the work you perform. For most Participants, this means working in a position coverage by a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Employer and the Union.

Q.

What if I don’t work enough hours to gain eligibility for the month?

A.

If you fail to have the required employer contributions to continue Health Care coverage, you may be eligible to continue with COBRA continuation Coverage. Please contact the Trust Fund Office at (619) 849-1063 or Toll Free at (877) 469-5296.

Q.

How do I maintain my monthly Health Care coverage?
