When You Stop Working or Retire

Contact the Fund Office about your coverage options as you get closer to your retirement date. They can provide you with a copy of the booklet that explains Retiree coverage.

Coverage for you and your Dependents will end if contributions needed to maintain your eligibility are not made on your behalf (see termination of your elgibility). You may be eligible to continue coverage by electing COBRA Continuation Coverage and making the necessary self-payments for such coverage by the due date (see COBRA Continuation Coverage).

If you retire, you may be eligible for Retiree coverage. You should refer to the Summary Plan Description for the Sheet Metal Workers’ Welfare Plan for Retirees for information about Retiree eligibility.
