Your Plasterers 66 Health Benefits

Just like choosing the right tools for a job, you have important choices to make about your health and health care. With Plasterers 66 health benefits, you have a choice of medical plans so that you can select the one that’s right for you and your family. You also have dental and vision coverage to take care of every aspect of your health.  

Eligibility For Health Benefits

The Plasterers 66 Welfare Fund utilizes an advanced eligibility system to determine eligibility for health benefits. You become eligible for coverage the first day of the third month following the month in which 200 hours have been reported and paid into your reserve account. These hours must be worked in three or fewer consecutive months. For example, if you worked a total of 200 hours between April and May, and these hours were reported and paid for by your employer by June, your eligibility would begin in August.

To maintain eligibility each month, the "cost" is 100 hours per month. If you have more than 100 hours reported and paid, the excess will go into your reserve account. Your reserve account can hold up to a maximum of 400 hours and acts like a bank. In months in which fewer than 100 hours are reported and paid on your behalf, the hours in your reserve account will be used to maintain coverage.
