Dependents

Generally, coverage for your dependent begins on the date you become eligible (either as an Active Electrical Worker, Active Non-Bargaining Unit Employee or Retired Employee), or if later:

• the date of birth for natural children;
• the date of marriage for spouses and stepchildren;
• the date of placement for adopted children or foster children; or
• the date that you began supporting the child(ren)

If you wish to add dependents to your coverage, refer to the Forms page for EWTF to download the necessary documents.  You may be asked to provide additional information (i.e., including but not limited to copies of marriage licenses and birth certificates).

It is the participant's responsibility to notify the Fund Office of a change in marital or dependent status.  If the Fund Office is not notified timely and claims or prescriptions are paid when not eligible, the participant will be responsible for refunding the overpayment made by EWTF.
