The Trustees have adopted a limited, temporary waiver of the Pension Fund’s Suspension of Benefits Rules effective between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024 (“Waiver Period”) to address a skilled labor shortage.
The limited, temporary waiver of the Fund’s Suspension of Benefits Rules is referred to as the “2024 Waiver.” Under the 2024 Waiver, an Eligible Retiree may work up to 480 hours in Covered and Contributory Employment with a Contributing Employer during the Waiver Period before the Eligible Retiree’s monthly benefit will be subject to suspension under the Plan’s Suspension of Benefits Rules.
Please review the 2024 Waiver Description, Definitions, Examples, and Return to Work Notification Form. An Eligible Retiree must notify the Fund Office in writing, before returning to work under the 2024 Waiver, using the Return to Work Notification Form.
