7 Eligibility Provisions Eligibility for Active Employees You are eligible for coverage if you are an active Employee of an Employer that is participating in the Plan, you are working in a position for which coverage is provided under the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreement and/or participation agreement, and your Employer is making the required monthly contributions to the Plan on your behalf. Limitations on Eligibility Eligibility under the Plan also is subject to any further requirements and limitations in the applicable collective bargaining agreement or other participation agreement. Whenever the coverage language in the applicable collective bargaining agreement or other participation agreement is inconsistent with the language in this document, the language in this “Eligibility Provisions” section of this document will prevail. Temporary Extension of Coverage While Totally Disabled If your medical coverage under the Plan terminates while you are totally disabled, coverage will be extended, only for treatment of that total disability, for three (3) months while you remain totally disabled. In addition, medical coverage for hospital confinement for the disabling condition will be extended until the end of a confinement that begins within three months after your coverage terminated. You must submit evidence of total disability to be reviewed by the Fund. The Fund will accept records from the Social Security Administration indicating that you or your dependent is totally disabled. This extension also applies to your dependent who is totally disabled on the date their coverage terminates. Extension of benefits for total disability will end on the earlier of the following dates: • The date the total disability ends; • The date the person becomes covered under Medicare or any group plan that provides medical benefits; or • Three months from the date the person’s medical coverage terminated. If any applicable extension does not provide uninterrupted coverage to you, you will be notified by the Fund Office that you will be eligible to select COBRA Continuation Coverage under the Plan and make self-payments to continue your coverage. Once you are no longer totally disabled, if you lose coverage, you will be required to satisfy the eligibility rules of the Plan to regain eligibility for benefits. Refer to the Glossary for the Plan’s definition of total disability and totally disabled.
