Failure to meet participation requirements could prevent the plan from becoming effective, or delay the effective date of the policy. The IBEW does not make any endorsement or recommendations regarding these benefits. It is solely the members’ decision to enroll. This program is completely voluntary and benefits can be elected on an a la carte basis. This is a basic summary of benefits and makes no guarantee or warranty on the processing of claims. Other limitations may apply. It is recommended that each member with coverage obtain a copy and read the entire policy booklet.
