How many vesting service credits must you earn to be considered vested in the NEBF pension plan?

To be considered vested in the NEBF (National Electrical Benefit Fund) pension plan, an individual must earn a total of five vesting service credits. Vesting service credits are the periods of service that count towards participation in the pension plan, and reaching this threshold signifies that the individual has met the requirements to retain benefits regardless of future employment status or withdrawal from the program. Achieving five credits ensures that the individual has committed sufficient time to the fund, thereby securing the right to a pension based on their contributions and service record.
