If you are employed under a collective bargaining agreement and involved in a work stoppage because of a strike or lockout, your coverage can be continued for up to six months.  You must pay the full premium, including any part usually paid by the group, directly to the union or trust that represents you.  And the union or trust must continue to pay the Administrator the premiums on the Premium Due Date.  Coverage cannot be continued if fewer than 75 percent of those normally enrolled continue coverage or if you otherwise lose eligibility under the Plan.
