You have the right to:

  • Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites and Union halls, all documents governing the Plan. These include insurance contracts, Collective Bargaining Agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA).

  • Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan. These including insurance contracts, Collective Bargaining Agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated Summary Plan Description. The Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

  • Receive notice annually on the Plan’s funding status. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this Annual Funding Notice.

  • Obtain a statement telling you whether you have a right to receive a pension at Normal Retirement Age and if so, what your benefits would be at Normal Retirement Age if you stop working under the Plan now. If you do not have a right to a pension, the statement will tell you how many more years you have to work to earn a right to a pension. This statement must be requested in writing and is not required to be given more than once every 12 months. The Plan must provide the statement free of charge.
