Summary of Active Hour Bank Eligibility Rules

  • Eligibility is determined on the basis of an hour bank system.

  • For initial eligibility for medical and prescription drug coverage, a minimum of 350 hours must be accumulated in a six month period. If 350 hours are not accumulated in the first six months of Covered Employment, the Trust will look to subsequent six month periods until the 350 hour requirement is met.

  • Initial eligibility will be effective the first day of the second month following the accrual of 350 hours.

  • Once the minimum eligibility requirement has been established, 300 hours will be deducted for the first month of eligibility and 130 hours will be deducted from the employee’s hour bank for each subsequent month of coverage.

  • For Initial eligibility for dental, vision, time loss and life and AD & D coverage, a minimum of 1,000 hours is required in the hour bank (prior to deduction of hours for medical and prescription drug coverage). Coverage for dental, vision, time loss, life and AD & D will become effective on the first day of the second month following accumulation of the 1,000 hours.

  • An employee will continue to be covered as long as there are 130 hours or more in the hour bank.

  • A maximum hour bank of six consecutive months of prepaid continuous coverage (780 hours) can be accumulated.

  • If the hours in the hour bank drop below 130, they remain in the hour bank for 10 months from the last date of eligibility, after which the hour bank will be forfeited. In the event the hour bank is forfeited, an employee will again become eligible upon completion of the initial eligibility requirement for new employees as noted above.
