Second Level Review Clause Samples
The Second Level Review clause establishes a process for escalating decisions or disputes to a higher authority within an organization after an initial review has been completed. Typically, if a party is dissatisfied with the outcome of a first-level review—such as a decision on a claim, complaint, or contractual issue—they may request a second evaluation by a more senior manager or designated committee. This clause ensures that concerns are thoroughly reconsidered before final resolution, providing an additional layer of oversight and helping to resolve disagreements more fairly and efficiently.

(e) The reviewer will review the Settlement Administrator’s initial determination and independently determine, based upon the claim and proof submitted by the Settlement Class Member, whether the initial determination should be adjusted.

Under no circumstance shall the second reviewer decrease the reimbursement amount previously offered.
(f) The Second Review determination, along with any applicable payment, will be mailed to the Settlement Class Member within 45 days of the date in which Settlement Administrator received the request for a Second Review, or within 60 days of the Effective Date, whichever is later, along with any supporting documentation. The Second Review determination will state the reason(s) why the initial determination was modified or not. Settlement Administrator’s decision shall be final and not appealable.
(g) Class Counsel may monitor the claims administration process and, upon request, may receive updates from the Settlement Administrator to ensure that Settlement Administrator is acting in accordance with the Settlement Agreement.
