As an eligible, retired participant in the NEBF℠, you are one step closer to receiving your NEBF℠ benefit.  The type of benefit you maybe eligible for will depend you meeting the required eligibility requirements of that benefit type.
 
The NEBF℠ offers two types of benefits to its eligible participants:  Retirement Benefits and a Disability Benefit.  Click on the links below for more information on these types of benefits.

Retirement Benefits- Are available to eligible Participants who have retired from the electrical industry.  There are two types of Retirement Benefits: Normal Retirement Benefit and Early Retirement Benefit.
                                                          
Disability Benefit- Is available to an eligible Participant who is less than age 65 and who becomes Totally Disabled.  Eligible Participants who are Totally Disabled can get a Disability Benefit if they have a Disability Award from the Social Security Administration showing that they are currently receiving a Social Security Disability Benefit or such other proof as the Trustees may require. Your entitlement to a Disability Benefit is dependent upon you continuing to be Totally Disabled.  NEBF℠ will periodically request that you submit verification from the Social Security Administration of your continued eligibility for Social Security Disability Benefits or proof that you are still disabled.
