AMENDMENT NO. 22
TO THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IBEW-NECA ACTIVE HEALTH PLAN
The heading entitled "Eligible Dependents" on Pages 11-12 of the Active Health Plan is amended by adding the following language after the second sentence of that Section:
"Coverage for an Employee's unmarried children will terminate at the end of the month in which the child reaches age 19, unless otherwise extended under the provisions of this Plan."
In addition, the following language is added to the end of the Second Full Paragraph (in bold type) under the heading entitled "Eligible Dependents" on Pages 11-12 of the Active Health Plan:
"Once enrolled, coverage for the Participant's unmarried children under age 19 and the lawful spouse under this Plan is not optional. There is no ability to subsequently terminate coverage under this Plan for enrolled eligible dependents of any eligible Participant so long as the dependent continues to be an eligible dependent. Nothing in this Section is intended to modify the Plan's coordination of benefit provisions."
The first sentence of the last paragraph under the heading entitled "Eligible Dependents" is replaced with the following:
"Upon dissolution, divorce, legal separation or annulment, a spouse ceases to be an eligible dependent on the first day of the month following the month in which the final decree terminating the marital relationship is issued. However, a spouse may continue to be eligible as a qualified beneficiary under this Plan if COBRA rights are timely elected, as more fully set forth in the COBRA section of this Plan."
This Amendment was adopted on the 16th day of January, 2007 at Commerce, California.
