Have you wondered what your employer is deducting from your paycheck?? Deductions on your paycheck should only be for your Union's gross wage assessment (Working Dues), which is 2% of that pay period's gross wages, including travel and non-working hours paid. There should also be a deduction of $0.05 per hour worked for the Political Education Committee, $0.15 per hour worked for Market Recovery and $0.10 per hour worked for Organizing. Some employer pay choose to lump these 3 assessments into one deduction of $0.30 per hours worked. Additionally, if you elected to make a voluntary employee contribution to your Defined Contribution account, that amount you elected per hour will also be deducted from your paycheck. If you are not sure of the deductions listed on your paycheck, you should reach out to your employer's payroll department for help understanding the deductions. You can also contact UA Local 725 for additional assistance.

Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud con respecto a su beneficio de jubilación, comuníquese con la Oficina de Beneficios al 754-777-77353 o info@725benefits.org Fondo de pensiones Preguntas frecuentes Q. How do I become a Participant in the Plan? A. You will become a Participant on the first day of the month in which you accrue 400 Hours in Covered Employment during a period of 12 consecutive months beginning with your first day of employment ending on your first anniversary of employment. Q. I am going through a divorce, what happens to my pension? A. If your former spouse is awarded a portion of your earned benefit through the Plan, it will be necessary that you and your former spouse complete a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) so that the Plan can pay benefits to your former spouse. You may contact Benefit Services and request that a sample QDRO be provided to you. Q. Does the Pension Plan affect Social Security benefits in any way? A. No. Q. Can pensions be paid or assigned or garnered to others? A. No. Pensions cannot be assigned to a third party. The only exceptions are for payments in accordance with a "Qualified Domestic Relations Order," or on the death of the Participant to a designated beneficiary. Q. If benefits are denied, may a participant or beneficiary appeal? A. Yes. Any participant or beneficiary denied a benefit has the right to appeal to the Trustees within 60 days after the date shown on the letter of denial. The rules for filing an appeal are outlined in your Summary Plan Description (SPD). Q . How far in advance should I request an application for retirement? A. You can request an application for retirement any time during the 180 days prior to your expected retirement date but in no event, not later than the last working day of the month prior to the month in which you want to retire with this Plan. Though you can download the application on this website, you will still need the benefit option form, which details available optional benefits as well as the monthly value for those benefits. That form is provided to you from Benefit Services only. Q. In addition to the application for retirement, what other documents do I have to submit to Benefit Services? A. You will need to provide photocopies of the birth certificates for you and your spouse, copy of your marriage license, copy of photo state issued identification for you and your spouse, and copy of you and your spouse's Social Security card. If you are divorced, you are required to submit a copy of the final judgment of dissolution with copies of the marital settlement or property settlement agreement and/or a copy of the Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO). Q. I am currently receiving a monthly pension benefit from the Plan and would like to change the tax withholding. What needs to be done? A. You can change your tax withholding as often as you wish by completing a new W-4P which can be obtained from Benefit Services or downloaded from the website. Once this form is completed, you must return it to Benefit Services for implementation. You may submit your W-4P form through the Participant Portal. Q. I am currently receiving a monthly pension benefit from the Plan and would like to change the bank account information. How do I change this information? A. You can change your direct deposit information by completing a new Direct Deposit Form which can be obtained from Benefit Services or downloaded from the website. Once this form is completed, you must return it to Benefit Services for implementation. You may also change your bank account online through the Participant Portal. Q. I am thinking of retiring, what is the earliest age I can retire? A. A member can retire as early as age 55 as long as you have 10 vesting credits. If you retire early, your benefit will be reduced for every month you retire prior to the normal retirement age of 65. Also, if you retire early, you may not work in the trade, craft, industry anywhere in the United States and continue to receive your monthly benefit, you will be suspended until you are no longer working. You should contact Benefit Services to discuss your eligibility for early retirement. Q. I recently moved, how do I change my address? A. For your protection, all address changes must be submitted in writing. You can change your address in one of three ways: a) Mail or fax a letter to Benefit Services with your new address or b) Complete the Address Change Form located on this website and mail or fax to Benefit Services for processing. c) Log into your Participant Portal and complete the address change form online. Q. I am age 65 and I'm contemplating retiring, can I still work for my employer and receive my monthly pension benefit? A. If you are age 65 and want to retire and continue to work for a Local 725 contributing employer, YES, you can receive your monthly pension benefit and continue to work for your Local 725 contributing employer. There is no restriction of the number of hours you can work for that Local 725 contributing employer either and still receive your pension. Q. Whom should I contact if I'm getting a divorce and what documents do I need to submit? A. Please call Benefit Services and advise the Retirement Services and Healthcare Departments that you are getting a divorce or have already gotten divorced. You will also need to submit a FULL copy of your Dissolution of Marriage Judgment, QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) Martial Settlement or Property Settlement Agreement and any Qualified Medical Child Support Order to this office. Don't forget to contact the Union Hall (305) 681-8596 to provide them with a copy of your divorce decree. Benefit Services does not and cannot provide a copy to the Union Hall without your written approval to share that information/documentation. Q. I am age 65, retired and still am working for my employer, does my pension get adjusted for the work I am doing now? A. Yes, an age 65+ working retiree, will have their monthly pension benefit adjusted for the work they are doing in a Plan Year as long as you work at least 400 hour in the plan year, which runs January through December. Each February, Benefit Services reviews all working retirees of Local 725 contributing employers and recalculates their monthly pension benefit based on the hours worked and contributions received on your behalf. Q. Do I have to complete the Pension Verification Statement I received in the mail? A. Yes, the Pension Plan Rules requires periodic certification of all participant's retirement status for the previous 12 months. Failing to complete the statement by November 1st will result in a suspension of your future benefit payments until Benefit Services receives your completed Verification Statement. Contact Retirement Services for any additional questions you may have about your pension benefit.

This pages provides answers to FAQs for the Health Fund for UA Local 725 & MCASF. Preguntas frecuentes Esta página contiene preguntas frecuentes sobre el Fondo de Salud. Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud con respecto a su cobertura de salud, comuníquese con la Oficina de Beneficios al 754-777-7735 o info@725benefits.org Fondo de Salud Preguntas frecuentes Q. Who are my eligible dependents? A. Your lawful spouse; Your biological children up to age 26; Your legally adopted children up to age 26; Your step-children up to age 26; and Child for whom you have been appointed legal guardian by court for length of guardianship or to age 26, which occurs first Q. When do I become eligible for benefits? A. You will become initially eligible for benefits on the 1st day of the month after you have accumulated contributions paid by your employer of 400 or more employment hours during a 5 consecutive month period. Q. How do I maintain my continued health care coverage? A. Once you have passed initial eligibility, to maintain your coverage, you must work at least 100 hours per month. If you do not work 100 hours per month but have sufficient hours in your hour bank to make up the difference, your coverage will be continued. Q. I worked over the amount of hours needed for coverage, what happens to those additional hours? A. For any hours you work over 100 in a month, those exceeded hours are placed into your "hour bank", the maximum amount of exceeded hours allowed to be placed in the hour bank is 1,000 hours (10 months of coverage). You may utilize hours in your hour bank to assist you in maintaining coverage (i.e. You only worked 60 hours in a month, so you will be short by 40 hours for coverage but your hour bank has a balance of 200 hours. The Fund will withdrawal 40 hours from your bank and add those hours to the 60 hours you work to ensure you have continued coverage. After the withdrawal, your hour bank balance will be 160 hours). Q. How do I add my new baby or spouse to my insurance plan? A. You must submit a completed, signed Enrollment & Vital Information Form along with other required legal documentation to Benefit Services. You can download the Enrollment & Vital Information Form located under Health Care Document section on this website and mail it into Benefit Services.
