Eligibility

Monthly Dollar Bank Deduction
The current monthly dollar bank deduction is $1,000.

Initial Eligibility
You must accumulate a minimum amount equal to three months of eligibility in your dollar bank account within a six-consecutive-month period to start the eligibility system. The current minimum amount is $3,000. At least $1 of contributions must be earned in the first four months of the six-month period. There will be a lag month immediately following the month your dollar bank reaches $3,000. Eligibility begins on the first day of the month following the lag month, and you will have continuous coverage for a three-month period.

Continuing Eligibility
After your initial eligibility, you must continue to accumulate sufficient contributions in you dollar bank account to fund each monthly dollar bank deduction. When the amount in your dollar bank equals or exceeds the monthly dollar bank deduction, you will be eligible on the first day of the second month after your dollar bank balance exceeds the monthly deduction amount.

Self-Contribution, COBRA and Retiree Coverage
Continuation coverage is available to qualifying participants, retirees and dependents. A monthly contribution must be made to the plan. The monthly amount is reviewed each year by the Board of Trustees in consultation with the plan’s consultant.
