Yes. The Fund may request new information each year. Although you may feel your household has not experienced any changes, it’s important for the Fund Office to maintain the most up to date, accurate information as possible.

Yes. The EAS Carpenters Benefit Fund Plan of Benefits states that if a spouse is offered health insurance through their Employer, regardless of part time or full-time employment status, the Spouse is considered ineligible for Primary Coverage through the Fund. However, once that spouse elects primary coverage either through their employer, they then become eligible for Secondary Insurance Coverage with the Fund. Spouses are only required to elect major medical coverage, and only for themselves. Spouses are not required to sign up for elective coverages, nor must they cover the member or any eligible children.

This form is used to help the Fund Office accurately update records with correct employment and insurance information. Every spouse must fill out the top portion and have the bottom portion completed by their employer. Please either upload this form along with all required documents online using the “Secure Upload Center” or mail to the Fund Office. Be sure the member’s name and UBC number are on all documents. Forms completed online will be put on hold and considered incomplete until all documents are received. This could also result in an interruption of benefits.

The Fund would need a termination letter from the employer or the insurance company stating the last date of insurance coverage.

Yes. All Participants must complete the annual Coordination of Benefits and Enrollment Form every year. If not completed, your benefits may be interrupted. 

Once your form is submitted, you will not be able to go back and make any changes, you must contact the Fund Office at 732-417-3900.
