Can spouses and dependents be plan members? When a participant retires, are the participants spouse and dependents eligible for any plan benefits?

No, spouses and dependents of active employees cannot be Plan members, although they can participate in the Plan’s death benefits, in the instance of survivorship or second-to-die life insurance. In addition, when a participant who has satisfied the service, age and participation requirements retires, the retirees spouse and dependents become eligible to receive benefits for reimbursable medical expenses (post retirement medical benefits).
