General Information

Plan Identification Numbers

The Plan uses the Social Security Number (SSN) of the Participant, the Operating Engineers Identification Number (OEID) or the Operating Engineers Union Local 12 Register Number as an identification number for all transactions. All claims and correspondence that you send to the Fund Office should include one of these identification numbers. A missing identification number can significantly delay payment of your claims.

Plan Rules and Regulations

That is the legal document which is the basis for all eligibility and benefit provisions. You may obtain a copy of the current Rules and Regulations by contacting the Fund Office.

Change of Address

It is important to keep the Fund Office advised of your current physical and mailing address. All mailings from the Fund Office will be made to the last known mailing address.

All address changes must be in writing signed by the eligible Participant. Telephone changes cannot be accepted. For a copy of this form please contact the Fund’s Member Services department at (866) 400-5200, or visit our website at www.oefi.org.
