It depends on how long you have been without insurance coverage with the Fund. If you have not been eligible for insurance benefits for a year or longer, you must meet the initial eligibility requirements of 450 hours in a six consecutive month period. If the period without insurance eligibility was less than one year, you will re-establish your eligibility when you work at least: 250 hours in the first 3 months of the 4 months immediately preceding the month of coverage; or 500 hours in the first 6 months of the 7 months immediately preceding the month of coverage; or 1,000 hours in the first 12 months of the 13 months immediately preceding the month of coverage.
