Commitment to Rehabilitation. In the event that an employee is medically able to participate in a rehabilitation activity or program that: (a) can be expected to facilitate his/her return to his/her own job or other gainful occupation; and (b) is recommended by HBT or another rehabilitation service provider and approved as a Rehabilitation Plan, then, the entitlement to benefits under the LTD Plan will continue for the duration of the Approved Rehabilitation Plan as long as he/she continues to participate and cooperate in the Rehabilitation Plan. If the Plan involves a change in own occupation, the LTD benefit period will continue at least until the end of the first two (2) years of disability. In addition, the employee may be eligible for the Rehabilitation Benefit Incentive Provision. The Rehabilitation Plan will be jointly determined by the employee (and, if the employee chooses, his/her union) and HBT or another rehabilitation service provider. In considering whether or not a rehabilitation plan is appropriate, such factors as the expected duration of disability, and the level of activity required to facilitate the earliest return to a gainful occupation will be considered along with all other relevant criteria. A rehabilitation plan may include training. Once the Rehabilitation Plan has been determined, the employee and the HBT or another rehabilitation service provider will jointly sign the Terms of the Rehabilitation Plan which will, thereby, become the Approved Rehabilitation Plan and the employee’s entitlement to benefits under the LTD plan shall continue until the successful completion of the Approved Rehabilitation Plan, provided the eligible employee is willing to participate and cooperate in the Approved Rehabilitation Plan. In addition, the employee may be eligible for any, or all, of the Rehabilitation Benefit Incentive Provisions.
