In order to be eligible for benefits through the FA Benefit Fund, you must be a covered member. Covered members include Unit III employees of Suffolk Community College covered by the collective bargaining agreement between the Faculty Association and the County of Suffolk and on whose behalf contributions are required to be made; officers and employees of the Faculty Association and the Fund on whose behalf the Faculty Association or the FA Benefit Fund makes contributions; such retirees whom the Trustees may determine are eligible to participate in this Fund; and other employees of the County of Suffolk in other bargaining units and non-bargaining units whom the Trustees may determine are eligible to participate in the FA Benefit Fund. You are entitled to benefits as long as you are in active payroll status or are an eligible retiree. Active payroll status means the period for which contributions are required to be made on your behalf. Covered members who are on unpaid leaves of absence remain eligible for benefits for so long as they are on approved leave, provided they make the required contribution to the FA Benefit Fund. (See section entitled “COBRA” for further details.) In addition, adjunct faculty are eligible for the Legal Services Program.

Employees covered by the FA Benefit Fund will be eligible for benefits on the first day of employment. All benefits terminate at the end of the month in which the last contribution has been received by the Fund on the employee’s behalf.
