Common use of Filing a Claim Clause in Contracts

Filing a Claim. The employee, a member of the employee's family, or a representative of the employee, may file a claim for disability leave benefits with the Superintendent. The claim shall be filed on a form designated by the Department of Administrative Services within forty-five (45) days of the last day the employee worked. Where extenuating circumstances exist which prevent an employee from filing a claim, a written statement by the employee's physician and/or the Superintendent, explaining such extenuating circumstances, must be filed within a reasonable time after the forty-five (45) day time period has expired. The Superintendent shall, within five (5) days of receipt of the claim, forward the claim and the claim recommendation to the Director of Administrative Services.
