B. Duration of Participation in the Plan

Once you become a Participant, you will remain a Participant so long as you either (i) have a vested pension benefit that has not been fully distributed or (ii) have not incurred a Permanent Break in Service. Section 6 explains the vesting rules, and generally provides that your pension benefit becomes vested once you earn 5 years of Pension Credit or Credited Service before incurring a Permanent Break in Service.
