Health and Welfare Summary Plan Description

2.9 Information You Must Provide the Plan.

For the Plan to provide you the benefits to which you are entitled, you must provide it certain information, as described in this section.

1. Change in Dependent Status. Keep your enrollment form updated by adding a new Spouse, Domestic Partner or Child with any required proof, such as a marriage or Domestic Partner registration certificate, birth certificate or legal adoption papers. You must also notify the Plan Office if a Dependent ceases to qualify as a Dependent, for example, due to divorce, death or the attainment of age 26.
   
   
2. Change in Beneficiary. Be sure to complete a beneficiary form for the payment of the Plan's death benefit (see Section 11.7), and keep it current so that family members or others who should be paid your benefits will be paid without unnecessary delay. If you are married or in a domestic partnership, benefits are automatically paid to your Spouse or Domestic Partner unless he or she signs a notarized consent to the designation of some other beneficiary. Consider submitting a new beneficiary designation form if there is a major change in your life circumstance, such as a marriage or divorce.
   
   
3. Address Change. Be sure to keep the Plan Office advised of any change in your address. Even if you leave the electrical industry or Local 6 you may continue to receive Plan information about potential future benefits.
