The United Food and Commercial Workers Union and Participating Food Industry Employer Tri-State Pension Plan (the "Plan") provides pension benefits payable to eligible participants who retire because of age or disability. These benefits are provided, without cost to the participant, as a result of collective bargaining between participating Employers, such as Acme Markets, Inc., SuperFresh Food Markets, Shop 'n Bag, Shop Rite, and Thriftway, and United Food and Commercial Workers Local Unions 27, 1358, 1360, and 1776. The Summary Plan Description and Benefit Booklet (SPD) is provided to all eligible participants. The SPD describes the benefits available under the Plan and how to apply for these benefits. A Statement of Benefit and Vesting credits, which provides a written estimate of benefit and vesting service under the Plan, is also provided to all eligible participants. If you have any questions regarding the Plan, wish to determine if you are an eligible participant of the Plan, or to request a SPD or an updated Statement of Benefit and Vesting Credits, please contact the Fund Office at (856) 662-8383 or 1-800-228-7484.
