If your employer has agreed to participate in the National Roofing Industry Pension Plan (NRIPP) and makes contributions on your behalf, and you satisfy the NRIPP’s eligibility requirements, you may be eligible for a monthly retirement check when you retire from the roofing industry. You may also be eligible for other benefits such as disability and, for your spouse or beneficiary, death benefits.

In order for you to be a part of the National Roofing Industry Supplemental Pension Plan (NRISPP)–a defined contribution plan–your local union must negotiate for contributions to be made by your employer to the NRISPP for you. If you are a participant in the NRISPP, employer contributions go into your NRISPP account and are invested over your working years.

To learn more about the NRIPP or NRISPP, contact the Fund office or visit its website.
