Disability Claims. The review shall be conducted by the Compensation Committee (exclusive of the person who made the initial adverse decision or such person’s subordinate). In reviewing the appeal, the Compensation Committee shall (i) not afford deference to the initial denial of the claim, (ii) consult a medical professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine relating to the claimant’s disability and who was neither consulted as part of the initial denial nor is the subordinate of such individual and (iii) identify the medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained with respect to the initial benefit denial, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the decision. If a claim is denied due to a medical judgment, the reviewer will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment. The health care professional consulted will not be the same person consulted in connection with the initial benefit decision (nor be the subordinate of that person). The decision on review also will identify any medical or vocational experts who advised the Compensation Committee in connection with the original benefit decision, even if the advice was not relied upon in making the decision.
Disability Claims. Claims for disability benefits shall be determined under the DOL Regulation section 2560.503-1 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Disability Claims. If a claim for benefits is based on a determination of the claimant’s Disability by the Plan Administrator, the claim for Disability-based benefits will be processed within 45 days of receipt unless the claimant’s application is incomplete. The Plan Administrator will notify the claimant or the claimant’s representative within the initial 45-day period if his or her application is incomplete. If the Plan Administrator needs additional information, the initial 45-day period will be suspended. When the information is received, the Plan Administrator has the remainder of the 45-day period to process the application. In unusual circumstances, the Plan Administrator may extend the initial 45-day period to process the claimant’s application by up to two 30-day extensions. If it does so, the claimant will be notified in writing of the first extension before the end of the first 45-day period. The claimant will be notified of the second extension before the end of the first 30-day extension period. If the Plan Administrator is waiting for information from the claimant during a 30-day extension, the period during which it must wait is not counted toward the 30 days. If the claimant’s initial application for Disability-based benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator will provide the claimant with a written explanation of the denial and the claimant’s rights to have the denial appealed. The explanation also will describe any other information or material that the claimant can provide that on appeal may result in a reversal of the denial. The claimant may then submit a written request for reconsideration of claimant’s claim within 180 days after the denial. Any such request should be accompanied by documents or records that support the claimant’s appeal and should be sent to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator will consult with vocational and medical experts in deciding claimant’s appeal for technical advice and opinions on claim appeals when appropriate. The Plan Administrator will make a final claim determination within 45 days of its receipt of the claimant’s request for an appeal of the initial denial. If the Plan Administrator needs additional information to process the appeal, it will notify the claimant or the claimant’s representative and request the information.
