Further, Officers, Directors, or Stockholders of a corporation or partners and sole proprietors who are participating in this Plan must contribute to the Plan on the basis of at least 1,000 hours of contributory employment per coverage period.

If you are on the referral list of IBEW Local 25 for two consecutive benefit coverage periods, i.e., a six-month period commencing the first Saturday after the last Friday of December and June of each year, and have not worked any clock hours in covered employment during such time, your coverage by the Fund shall terminate. During periods of severe unemployment, the Trustees may extend the non-work consecutive benefit coverage periods as necessary.
