Mid-Year Change in Eligibility

[Guest KMP]

I have a plan that the eligibility was 6 months and monthly entry. Effective 8/31/06 they amended the plan for a more restrictive eligibility and entry. (1 year eligibility and dual entry). I have an employee that was hired on 2/28/2006. What would her entry to the plan be?

Thanks.

Look up the North Shore Auto case. I think you'll end up concluding that the entry date is 7/1/07.
