QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How is service under Service under a related pension plan is measured
a related pension plan using related hours and related credit:
measured?
 Related hours are hours of employment for which
contributions are required to be made under the
related pension plan. Related hours are used to
determine related credits, and are counted as hours in
Covered Employment to determine whether you had
a break in service. They are also used to determine
whether a permanent break in service has occurred,
until you stop receiving contributions under this
Plan or a related pension plan. After that time only
Sound Plan service is used to determine whether a
permanent break in service has occurred.
 Related credit is past credited service or future
credited service you earned under a related pension
plan. Related credit is counted as credited service in
order to determine your vested status, provided you
have 1 or more years of credited future service under
the Sound Plan.
