| IMPORTANT:
All of the forms listed on these pages are in Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF). If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader
on your computer, you must download
and install Adobe
Acrobat Reader before you will be able to view
or print Benefits forms.
If you
are experiencing trouble accessing the Adobe Acrobat (PDF)
forms or books on this website, please refer to the note below.
Certain
combinations of web browsers and Adobe's Acrobat PDF viewer
result in problems when the PDF files are viewed from within
the browser. When you click on a link to the form, a blank
page may appear, 'garbage' text may appear, you may get
an error message, or the page may 'freeze'.
There
are several alternatives for opening the files.
Alternative
1: Disable Browser Integration
- Exit
from the browser
- Open
the Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Go
to File -> Preferences -> General
- Un-check
the "Web Browser Integration" box
- Exit
from the Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Restart
the web browser
- The
next time you select a link to a PDF file, a dialog box
will prompt you to either "Open this file from its current
location", or to "Save this file to disk". Select "Open
from current location..." to view the file immediately.
Alternative
2: Save the form directly to your hard drive
- Instead
of opening the PDF form as you would a normal link, Right
Click on the link to the PDF file and choose "Save Target
As...".
- Select
an easy to remember location on your hard drive to store
the file
- Go
to the location where you saved the form, and double-click
the file to open
- This
will launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader

you continue to have problems...
