ATLANTA FUND TOP FAQS : KROGER EMPLOYEES

  • I have dropped down to the Ancillary plan. How do I become eligible for medical and prescription coverage again?
    Please refer to your Collective Bargaining Agreement regarding the minimum hour requirement for each year. You must average the minimum number of hours required for Part-time coverage to qualify for medical and prescription coverage. The minimum number of hours required is based on your hire date and the benefit year in question.
  • Why does my paycheck appear to have 2 deductions for health coverage, with "AR?"
    When a participant 1st qualifies for health coverage, they obtain an 'eligibility date,' when the enrollment package is received it will provide an 'enrollment window.' Once enrolled, your weekly deduction should begin on the date you first became eligible for coverage, not on the date you enroll. Since your eligibility date and your enrollment date differ, you will see a weekly rate and an arrearage, marked with "AR" on your paycheck until the amount is satisfied based on your eligibility date.
