eligibility, 1000 hrs reached but DOT<21

Participant works over one year and 1000 hours in that year, but terminates prior to reaching age 21 so never becomes eligible to enter the plan.  That former employee is then rehired after age 21. would that employee enter plan immediately?

Obligatory:  What does the document say?

Of course, 'what does the plan document say' is our version of 'did you restart your phone or reboot your computer'?

Doc does not say directly but implies simply enough that eligibility was not met so therefore does not enter plan upon rehire/entry date if later. However seems to imply a switch to measuring service by plan year for a rehire.

I would think they enter right away.

They have 1 YOS?  Check.

They turned 21?  Check.

Entry date has come and gone?  Check.

Participant on rehire.

But the Plan Doc references an employee who incurs a Separation of Service prior to satisfying the eligibiliity requirements. This employee did not.

I change my mind.  I think they enter on the next entry date after rehire.

They didn't fully satisfy before termination.

So under my document, they revert to the schedule for new hires.

But upon their rehire, they have 1 YOS and are 21.  So they enter ont he next entry date.
