    When am I eligible to participate in the premium-free benefits?
    You are eligible for benefits provided by the Fund on the first day of the month following your Waiting Period. Your Waiting Period ends the last day of the month following the 30th calendar day period after you begin to work under the collective bargaining agreement.
    An example: you start to work on August 17th, you are eligible for Fund benefits on October 1st. If you start on September 10th, your are elgible for Fund benefits on November 1st.

    If you have any questions concerning your eligibility date, please contact us.

    Is there coverage for my dependents?
    You may also elect to enroll eligible dependents for vision benefits and in the same dental plan that you choose for yourself. If you enroll dependents prior to your eligibility date for Fund benefits, their eligibility date for vision and dental benefits will be the same date as yours. However, if you choose to enroll your dependents at a date later than your own eligibility date for dental and vision benefits, they will be considered late dependent enrollees and subject to waiting periods before certain benefits go into effect.

    If you enroll a child and he/she is between 19 and 26, your child must be a full-time student and dependent upon you.
