Unit Offset Benefit Clause Samples

Unit Offset Benefit. In applying a Unit Offset Benefit formula, the Years of Participation taken into account under the formula may not exceed the Participant’s cumulative disparity years. For this purpose, the Participant’s cumulative disparity years equal 35 minus: (I) the years the Participant benefited or is treated as having benefited under this Plan prior to the Participant’s first Year of Participation, and (II) the years credited to the Participant for allocation or accrual purposes under one or more qualified plans or simplified employee pension plans (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Employer other than years counted in (I) above or counted toward a Participant’s projected Years of Service. For purposes of determining the Participant’s cumulative disparity years, all years ending in the same calendar year are treated as the same year.
