You will be asked to submit written verification that you have not received a check and request that a stop payment be placed on the missing check. A stop payment will be placed immediately. Generally, within 48 hours of receipt of your written request a new check will be issued. If you then receive the missing check after a stop payment has been placed, you cannot deposit or cash that check. You will be responsible for any bank fees if you attempt to deposit or cash a check that has been "stopped."

If a participant should die during the benefit year, his or her account will be paid out at the same time distribution is made to all other Plan participants on or before the first week in December. Payment is made to a participant's surviving spouse or, in the absence of a spouse, to the participant's estate.

The annual distribution is issued on or before the first week in December each year and includes contributions for work periods October 1 through September 30 received by the Funds Office through September 30. If you worked for a contributing employer anytime during the month of September it is likely that your employer's contribution may not be received by the Funds Office until after the close of the benefit year September 30.

The Funds Office will issue a check once a month for all contributions which apply to work periods prior to September 30. These monthly payments are issued on or around the 15th of each month. Savings Benefit Statements are mailed monthly and indicate the amount of Savings contributions received on your behalf during a particular month. Your monthly Savings Benefit Statement issued just prior to the annual distribution reflects Savings contributions received from September 1 through September 30 only. Your Savings Benefit check stub will list total contributions received by month
