IS ON REFERRAL TO DELINQUENCY COLLECTION ATTORNEYS If a Covered Employer has been on referral to the Trust Fund's attorneys for a period of three months or more for collection of delinquent pension contributions due under a Pension Agreement, then the decision. of whether to accept as a Pension Agreement any extensions, renewal, modification or replacement of that Pension Agreement shall be made by the Chairman and Co- Chairman/Secretary, acting jointly, rather than by an Area Administrative Office of the Trust Fund. This Policy shall not apply to an extension, renewal, modification or replacement of a Pension Agreement where the sole reason the Covered Employer is on referral is a delinquency discovered through an examination of the books and records of the Covered Employer by the Trustees or their representatives or resulting from a Trust billing for contribution amounts supplemental to amounts the Covered Employer has reported to the Trust Fund on monthly transmittal report forms. This Policy is supplemental to, and not in derogation of, the existing authority of the Chairman and Co-Chairman/Secretary to determine whether a collective bargaining agreement or other written agreement qualifies as a Pension Agreement and whether Employer Contributions under such agreement are accepted under the rules and regulations of the Trust Fund.
