What happens if I become delinquent with contributions?
If you become delinquent you will receive a series of letters and phone calls from the Trust Fund attempting to ascertain the reason for the delinquency and when we can expect payment. If the situation cannot be resolved, or if you completely ignore all attempts to resolve the matter with the Trust Fund, then the matter will be turned over to Legal Counsel for collection. You should be advised that under ERISA, you may then be liable for all attorneys fees and costs, interest, as well as liquidated damages.

Do I have to mail my contribution reports and payment or can they be hand-delivered?
If you are submitting your monthly employer reporting form by U.S. mail use the envelope enclosed with your monthly reporting form. The monthly employer reporting form and contributions can be brought into our office, a receipt will be issued to you. You cannot send your monthly employer reporting forms overnight to the P.O. Box, therefore, if you need to overnight your contribution reports, please contact us for instructions. Please note payments must be check or cashier checks. Our office cannot accept CASH or Credit Card for payments.
Why is the charge so huge for being one day late?
A liquidated damage assessment will be the same whether your payment is one day late or thirty-one days late. The provisions of the collective bargaining agreement provide for an assessment of liquidated damages based on unpaid contributions.
Why am I charges liquidated damages?
Liquidated Damages are charged when reports are not received timely.
What if I cannot pay my contributions on time?
If you cannot pay your contributions on time, it is imperative that you send in the original contribution report without payment and a letter explaining the reason why the contributions will not be remitted at this time. The letter should also include when you expect to remit payment. The Trust Fund will be in contact with you regarding payment of these contributions but it is imperative that we receive the contribution report since the data contained on this report is the basis for eligibility for your employees. Notification to the Trust Fund of your inability to pay the contributions in a timely manner will not relieve you of any liquidated damages and/or interest that may be assessed.
Can I remit one check for more than one Fund?
One check can be written for one report or multiple reports.
Do I have to use the Fund’s contribution reports or can I use my own worksheets when remitting contributions?
It is preferable that you use the contribution reports which we send you on a monthly basis. The reason for this is that the names of the employees appear in our computer system in the same order as they appear on the contribution reports. This makes entering the data into the computer much easier and less prone to error. If you’d like you can re-create our monthly employer reporting form, this way you can manipulate monthly as needed.
