I understand that Oaisis Retirement Trust will not consider my group approved until the funds have been received for our first month’s contribution payment. If such funds are not received or cannot be processed, my group will NOT be considered approved and will be terminated as of the original requested effective date. If such a termination is made, any expenses that may have been incurred due to utilization by our employees of trust and retirement services offered by any Oasis Retirement Trust plan will not be the responsibility of Oasis Retirement Trust. I understand that no alterations can be made to this section and that it must be signed exactly as stated. I understand that once Oasis Retirement Trust coverage is approved, group policy changes cannot be implemented until the next billing cycle. These changes shall include, but not be limited to COBRA provisions, minimum hours worked per week and contribution amounts. I understand Oasis Retirement Trust is the brand name for the ERISA-based benefits provided by the participating labor organizations pursuant to the executed bona fide Collective Bargaining Agreement.
