    Review of Death Benefits Payable from the Pension & Welfare Plans

     

    Lump Sum Death Benefits

    1. Welfare Fund Death Benefit.

    The type of death benefit you are eligible for under the Welfare Plan depends on whether you are eligible for Class A(Active) benefits at the time of your death or if you are eligible for Class C or F (Retiree) benefits at the time of death.The details of both death benefits are as follows.

    1. Active Participant

      You are eligible for a $10,000 death benefit if you are eligible for Class A (Active) benefits at the time of death.

    2. Retired Participant

      You are eligible for a $10,000 death benefit if you are eligible for Class C or Class F (Retiree) benefits time of death. A $2,000 death benefit applies to Local 59 Retirees. There is no death benefit for Local 113 retirees who participate because of their union's merger with Local 392 on or after May 1, 1988.

    2. Pension Fund Death Benefit.

    You are eligible for a $5,000 death benefit from the Pension Fund if a death benefit is not payable from the Welfare Plan and you retired on or after October 1, 1999 from the active service of an employer.


    Return of Contribution Death Benefit Under the Pension Plan

    The Return of Contribution Benefit is paid to the beneficiary of a participant in situation where the participant and their qualified spouse(s) (if applicable) die before receiving total payments which equal or exceed a guaranteed amount. The guaranteed amount is the total of all contributions received on your behalf.

    If you are married and your qualified spouse is eligible to receive a Survivor Annuity upon your death, you may want to name someone other than your spouse as the beneficiary for the benefit because the UBD would only determine benefits in the event your qualified spouse either died before you or at the same time as you. If you don't know whether your spouse is qualified for a Survivor Annuity, you should contact the Fund Office.

    If you have any questions, please contact the Fund Office.
