Participating in TeamCare
Your Eligibility
For a new hire or a new member to the Plan, you’re eligible for TeamCare benefits the Sunday after the Plan receives eight consecutive weeks of contributions on your behalf. Note: this requirement is waived for New Groups that join the Plan with immediate coverage.
You are covered for TeamCare benefits only when a contribution was reported by your employer for the week you received services. Your Collective Bargaining Agreement explains when your employer is required to contribute, or you can contact the Plan for further information. The eight-week initial eligibility requirement may be waived if:
You leave your employer as a covered participant and return to covered employment with any Plan employer within 26 weeks after your previous coverage ended; or
You come into the Plan as part of a new group that has been accepted for immediate coverage; or
Your previous Teamster Health and Welfare Plan agreed to reciprocate with TeamCare.
You should contact the Plan if you meet any of these conditions.
Your coverage ends when your employer is not required or is no longer making contributions to TeamCare on your behalf. You do not have coverage during any week for which your employer is not obligated to contribute, for example, if you are laid-off or quit employment.
