Eligibility for Health and Other Benefits for National Benefit Fund Members
Members are generally eligible for benefits after they have been working for a contributing employer for 90 days or more, and the employer has made contributions to the Fund for 30 days or more.
Wage Class
If you work full-time, your benefit level is normally Wage Class I.
If you work part-time, your benefit level is:
- Wage Class I — if you earn 100 percent of the minimum full-time wage; or
- Wage Class II — if you earn at least 60 percent, but less than 100 percent, of the minimum full-time wage; or
- Wage Class III — if you earn less than 60 percent of the minimum full-time wage
