Eligibility

A&I maintains and tracks your eligibility in the Harrison Electrical Workers Trust Fund Active Employee Benefit Plan. The following menu provides links to an overview of how eligibility works. If after reviewing this information you need further assistance please contact us at A&I.

 



If Time Lost Due to Sickness or Injury

If you become totally disabled, due to an occupational or non-occupational accident or disease, you are covered on the date of disability, meet the eligibility requirements to use your reserve account above, and your disability continues for at least one calendar month, you may apply to the Board of Trustees to have the amount charged for coverage waived during your disability. Your reserve account will be frozen from the date the waiver begins. The waiver begins on the first day of the month you become disabled and qualify for the Disability Waiver of Health and Welfare Premiums.

The initial waiver will apply only for three months. After that time, you may apply for an additional three months, provided you are still disabled. This waiver is only allowed for six months in your lifetime. In order to be considered for a waiver, you must obtain a statement from your attending physician giving the nature of your disability, the date your disability started, and the date you expect to return to work. This information must be provided to the Board of Trustees on the application form that is available from the Plan Administrator or on the Forms page.
