How do I become eligible under the Plan?

Health Benefits

You and your eligible dependents will become eligible for all benefits except Life Insurance benefits on the first day of the second month following a period of not more than 3 consecutive calendar months during which you have accumulated at least 250 hours in your Hour Bank Account, provided you are actively at work or available for work on the day you would ordinarily become eligible.

For Basic Member Life Insurance, Basic Dependent Life Insurance, Optional Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment coverages, you and your eligible dependents will initially become eligible prior to accumulating 250 hours if you are a member in good standing with the Union and hours have been reported on your behalf.
