Common use of Duration of Eligibility Clause in Contracts

Duration of Eligibility. The requirements for eligibility to receive benefits under any provision of this instrument other than this Article XIII shall not apply to Retired Employees except as expressly provided in Section 2 of this Article XIII. Retired Employees shall become eligible upon certification by the Administrator as in this Article contemplated, and such Retired Employee shall thereafter remain eligible for benefits as Retired Employees hereunder subject only to the provisions of Section 2 of this Article XIII with respect to Retired Employees who return to active employment as an Employee of an Employer hereunder. Except as expressly provided in Section 2 of this Article XIII, after becoming eligible hereunder, any such Retired Employee shall thereafter remain eligible for benefits as a Retired Employee hereunder throughout the life of this Trust or until the death of the Retired Employee, whichever event shall first occur, provided, however, that the qualified dependents of a deceased Retired Employee may become and remain eligible for certain benefits under this Article XIII following the death of the Retired Employee subject to such rules as the Directors may establish by resolution. If the certification upon which such eligibility is based is found to be in error or is revoked by the Administrator, then the eligibility of the particular Retired Employee shall cease until a further and correct certification is made by the Administrator.
