If you recently married or had a new child that you want covered under your benefits, be sure you inform the Employers Union Trust Fund (EUTF) through your HR Office so that your new family member is covered. You have 45 days from the date of marriage and 180 days from the birth of a child to notify EUTF or you will have to wait until the next open enrollment season.
