[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 324133, member: 12570"] I assume that you are in the union and, as such, also assume that your medical insurance coverage is provided by Excellus BC/BC out of Syracuse. Provided that both of my assumptions are correct, you need to work 36 days in a quarter to get your benefits [U]for the subsequent quarter.[/U] In other words, if you worked 36 days or more from 1/01/08-3/31/08 you would have coverage 4/1/08-6/30/08. It has been a long time since I have had to worry about working enough to have coverage but I do hear some of the younger kids talking about getting their 36 days in. 365 hours divided by 8 is 45 days so you should be fine but, as was suggested above, call your local to make sure. I don't know how many hours you have to have in a given year to get credit toward your pension for that year so you should also ask about this when you call the local to check on your benefit coverage.
