A new Section 4.16 is added to the Summary Plan Description ("Plan")
addressing Special Enrollment Rights.
NOW THEREFORE, the Summary Plan Description is
hereby amended adding Section 4.16, which reads as follows:
"Special Enrollment Rights
If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under
Medicaid, CHIP or CHIPRA, as well as eligible under your employer
sponsored plan, the Health Trust Fund must allow you to enroll in your
employer sponsored plan if you are not already enrolled. This is called
a "special enrollment" opportunity, and you must request coverage within
60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance or losing
eligibility from these programs. At that time, you must submit written
proof of the other coverage, its duration, and the date the coverage
ended. If you do not enroll within the 60 days, you will lose your
Special Enrollment rights."
All other terms and conditions of the Summary Plan Description and
Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
Executed this 14th day of September 2026 at Pasadena,
