» Board of Trustees «
The plan is sponsored and administered plan by a Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is made up of representatives of both labor and management. The Board is responsible for managing plan assets, interpreting plan provisions, and deciding such things as eligibility, types of benefits, and administrative policies. As plan administrator, the Board of Trustees shall have the absolute and sole discretionary authority to construe and interpret the provisions of the plan, plan documents, summary plan description, as well as any communications related to the plan. The Board of Trustees will make all factual determinations, including determining the rights or eligibility of employees or participants, dependents, and any other persons, and the amounts of their benefits under the plan. The Board of Trustees will remedy ambiguities, inconsistencies, or omissions and such determinations shall be binding on all parties. Benefits will only be paid if the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, determines that the participant or beneficiary is entitled to them. The Board of Trustees has the authority to delegate any of its powers under the plan (including, without limitation, its power to administer claims and appeals) to any other person or committee. Such person or committee may further delegate its powers to another person or committee. Any delegation or subsequent delegation shall include the same sole, discretionary and final authority that the Board of Trustees has, as described in this paragraph, and any decisions, actions or interpretations made by any delegate shall have the same ultimate binding effect as if made by the Board of Trustees. You can contact the Board of Trustees by writing to the Indiana Laborers Welfare Fund, P.O. Box 1587, Terre Haute, Indiana 47808-1587. The day-to-day administration of the plan is handled by the Administrative Office of the Welfare Fund. Among other things, this office processes claims, makes benefit payments, answers participants’ questions, and maintains plan records.
