                                              Eligibility

Starting with credited hours earned on and after January 1, 2004, an employee can become eligible on the first day of the second calendar month after he has 300 credited hours.  This new rule will accelerate the initial eligibility process for many employees. Once a person earns initial eligibility, he will remain eligible through the end of the benefit quarter in which his initial eligibility date falls.  The 300 hours needed for initial eligibility must be worked within 3 consecutive months.  

Once initial eligibility has been established, 250 hours must be worked and contributions paid to the Northern Illinois Benefit Fund per eligibility quarter to maintain eligibility in following benefit quarters.                                                                                      
The following chart indicates the months that comprise each eligibility quarter and the benefit quarter that the eligibility quarter corresponds to:
