IRS Issues Further Guidance Addressing
Special Coronavirus-Related Distribution Rules

On May 4, 2020, (after you received the Hardship notice and application) the IRS issued further guidance that prohibits the Plan from making Coronavirus Distributions from your benefits accrued before January 1, 2019 (from your Money Purchase Subaccount) unless you are older than 59 ½.
If you are younger than 59 ½ you may request a Coronavirus distribution from your profit-sharing subaccount only. We apologize for the confusion, frustration, or inconvenience this may have caused.

If you have already applied, please be aware that the trust fund office will only allow approval for Contributions from your Profit-Sharing Account, therefore your original distribution request may be different.

John Hancock Website

You can check your balance on both accounts at the John Hancock website below or call them at: 1-800-249-3575.

Trust Fund Office Closed

The Trust Fund Office has been closed to walk-in appointments effective March 19, 2020, in compliance with State of California Executive Order N-33-20, Order of the State Public Health Officer dated March 19, 2020 for COVID-19.
