8 BENEFITS SPOTLIGHT | FALL 2021 A change of address is a milestone that many do not know needs to be updated with the Benefit Funds Office. Keeping your address current in our system will inform us of where we can send important correspondence such as, but not limited to, your Annual Benefit Statement and the Annual Funding Notice. HERE IS HOW YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS WITH THE IAM NATIONAL PENSION FUND: If you are actively working for a contributing employer: Make sure to contact your employer to notify them of the change. About 30 days after notifying your employer, call the Customer Service Department at the Benefit Funds Office Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Eastern Time: 1-800-424-9608. We can validate if your new address has been received from your employer and updated in our system. If you are no longer working for a contributing employer: Those no longer employed by a contributing employer can call the Customer Service Department at the Benefit Funds Office Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Eastern Time: 1-800-424-9608, or you can also update your address through your IPASS account online at www.iambfo.org. If you are actively receiving your pension benefits from the Fund (Benefit Recipient): You may change your address by sending a signed written notification to the Fund Office by postal service, fax, or scanned attachment through email. Benefit recipients who call into the Customer Service Department at the Benefit Funds Office will still be required to provide written confirmation of the change request with signature. Change of Address Requirements for Participants and Benefit Recipients The IAM Benefit Fund Office is currently in the process of rewriting the Summary Plan Description (SPD) for the IAM National Pension Plan. SPDs are legally required documents which outline and explain the most relevant plan provisions for participants in easily understandable language. SPDs are updated and mailed to participants every five years. The new SPD will include all updates and changes that have been made to the plan in the last five years, so check your mailbox in early 2022! We will also post the electronic version on our website. Stay Tuned for the New Summary Plan Description COMING SOON
