THE BENEFIT FUND’S COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COLLECTION OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS, ADMINISTERING THE VACATION BENEFIT, AND RECIPROCAL HOURS.
VACATION PAYMENTS
The Vacation Benefit is an employer paid contribution for your work hours. Payments are taxed and directly deposited into the bank account of record with the Fund office on a monthly basis. If no direct deposit information is provided, a check will be mailed to your address on file once per year.

RECIPROCAL HOURS
Are you working out of area? When you are working under another jurisdiction’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, your employer most likely submitted your Fringe Benefit Contributions to that Jurisdiction’s Benefit Fund (i.e. New Jersey, New York, Baltimore, or Washington D.C.). In order to have your contributions at the Outside Fund transferred back to your Home Fund, you will need to complete a Reciprocal Form for each outside jurisdiction, and submit it to the Eastern Atlantic States Carpenters Benefit Funds (you only need to complete one Reciprocal Form for each outside jurisdiction you worked in). To fill out a Reciprocal Form online, please visit www.carpenters.fund or download a copy to print for mailing purposes.

WORK RECORD REPORTS
It is important to check your hours regularly for any discrepancies. You can view your reported work hours in real-time by clicking “Work History” on the members.carpenters.fund homepage. If you find an error in reported hours, you can also submit a “Request Hours Discrepancies” form online at members.carpenters.fund or contact the Collections Department. Please note: Your “Vacation Plan” contributions will not be reciprocated to your Home Fund. You will need to contact the Outside Fund to collect that money (if applicable).
