• APV Process Video Walkthrough (Pension) — Under a federal law known as ERISA, the Trustees have a fiduciary obligation to ensure that pension benefits are not paid to pensioners who are engaged in activities which could lead to the suspension of their monthly pension benefit under the Plan's Suspension of Benefit Rules. To discharge in part that fiduciary obligation, the Trustees require all pensioners to complete, on an annual basis, an Annual Pensioner Verification form. Completion and return of the form is "self-reporting" by an individual pensioner as to activities performed during the preceding calendar year. The Fund Office has prepared a video to introduce the APV process. Take a brief tour and review the video. The video is not a substitute for the Summary Plan Description. Prior to filing any application for benefits, you should thoroughly review the Summary Plan Description (SPD).
