Have you ever experienced the frustration
of having a claim denied because of incorrect or incomplete information
on your Enrollment Form?
Although it may seem insignificant, your Enrollment Form is one of
the most important documents used by the Fund Office in providing benefits to you and your family. By keeping your
Enrollment Form current, you should not have to endure any unnecessary delay in the payment of your benefits.
When to complete an Enrollment Form
Complete your first form when you start working as a Laborer; be sure to
include all eligible dependents. After that, each time your family status changes, complete and submit an updated Enrollment
Form. Changes in family status include marriage; birth or adoption of a child; custody of a stepchild; and divorce. When
you submit an updated Enrollment Form, you must complete the entire form, as your new form replaces the old one.
Participant Information Section: Enter your (the
Laborer’s) social security number and name--first, middle, and last (always PRINT clearly and legibly). Enter your mailing
address, including zip code. The next line asks for your telephone number, E-mail address (if any) and Local Union. The last
line asks for your date of birth, sex and and marital status.
Dependent Information Section: Enter the names of
your eligible dependents. If the last name is different from yours, also enter the last name. Enter each dependent’s date
of birth, social security number, and relationship to you.
Required documents must accompany the Enrollment Form when you add
a dependent. Note that we only require you to send the document at the time you add the dependent. For example, if you marry, we
ask that you send your marriage certificate with your Enrollment Form. If, at a later time you have a child, you would
only be required to submit a birth certificate for your child; you would not be asked to resubmit the marriage certificate.
Beneficiary Information Section: In the next
section, you are asked to identify your beneficiary. Include the beneficiary’s social security number, first, middle, and
last name, their relationship to you (spouse, child, parent, or friend) and their mailing address.
Participant Statement Section: Date and sign the
form.
Be sure to write your (the Laborer’s) social security number on any
documents you submit with your Enrollment Form.
It should be noted that the Enrollment Form applies for all the
Trust Funds. As Laborers, you have accrued and continue to accrue health and welfare, vacation-holiday, pension and annuity
benefits. By maintaining an updated Enrollment Form, you can avoid any unnecessary delays in the payment of these
benefits to you, your eligible dependents, and your beneficiary.
To request an Enrollment Form: go to the
Request Health & Welfare Forms and Information section on this website, or contact the
Fund Office, or visit your Local Union Office.
