Short-Term Disability Benefits and Long-Term Disability Benefits
The Electrical Insurance Trustees Health and Welfare Plan (“Plan”) provides Short-Term Disability Benefits and Long-Term Disability Benefits for active employees who become disabled.
To receive disability benefits, you must meet the requirements as listed under the Plan and notify the Fund Office of your disability.
You MUST notify the Fund Office of your disability within 90 days of the later of (1) the date you last worked contributed hours, or (2) the date of your injury or illness. Failure to notify the Fund Office will result in your claim being denied and may have a negative impact on your future Health & Welfare eligibility. Don’t lose coverage because you missed a deadline!
Call EIT (312)782-5442
Workers' Compensation Claims
You MUST notify the Fund Office of all Workers’ Compensation claims you file within 90 days of the later of (1) the date you last worked contributed hours, or (2) the date of your injury or illness, including contested Workers’ Compensation claims.
DO NOT rely on your employer to notify the Fund Office of your Workers’ Compensation claim. You should always make sure to contact the Fund Office about any disability and/or Workers’ Compensation claim.
Failure to notify the Fund Office will result in your claim being denied. Don’t wait until you lose coverage to contact EIT… it may be too late!
