Getting Married

When you marry, your spouse is eligible for healthcare coverage as of the date of your marriage. However, the Fund will not pay any benefits on behalf of your spouse until you enroll your spouse for coverage. You must send a copy of your marriage certificate, your spouse’s birth certificate, and your spouse’s Social Security Number to the Fund Office as soon as it is available. Once your spouse is enrolled, benefits will be paid retroactively back to the date of your marriage.
