LIVING WILL/HEALTH CARE PROXY BENEFIT

Who is Eligible. . .You are eligible if you are a covered member, a covered member’s spouse (if agreeable to the member) or domestic partner or a covered member's parent(s) and/or parent(s)-in-law.

What is the Benefit. . .This benefit provides you, your spouse or domestic partner, your parent(s) and/or parent(s)-in-law with the opportunity to have a living will/health care proxy prepared and executed under the supervision of an attorney from the panel law firm. This benefit is provided once every two plan years at no cost to you.

A living will and/or health care proxy serves as a clear documented expression of an individual’s carefully considered intention to have life sustaining procedures withheld or withdrawn if he or she were to suffer from a catastrophic illness, disease or injury from which there is little likelihood that he or she would recover to enjoy a meaningful quality of life.

How to Obtain the Benefit.... To obtain the Living Will/Health Care Proxy Benefit, either you or your spouse or domestic partner should contact the Fund to request an appointment. If both husband and wife desire a living will/health care proxy, it is recommended that they make an appointment together. At the time of the appointment, you and an attorney from the panel law firm will complete the appropriate forms.
