Denial of Claim. A claim for benefits under this Agreement will be denied if the Bank determines that the Claimant is not entitled to receive benefits under the Agreement. Notice of a denial shall be furnished the Claimant within a reasonable period of time after receipt of the claim for benefits by the Plan Administrator. This time period shall not exceed more than ninety (90) days after the receipt of the properly submitted claim. In the event that the claim for benefits pertains to disability, the Plan Administrator shall provide written notice within forty-five (45) days. However, if the Plan Administrator determines, in its discretion, that an extension of time for processing the claim is required, such extension shall not exceed an additional ninety (90) days. In the case of a claim for disability benefits, the forty-five (45) day review period may be extended for up to thirty (30) days if necessary due to circumstances beyond the Plan Administrator’s control, and for an additional thirty (30) days, if necessary. Any extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the determination on review.
Denial of Claim. If the claim or request is denied, the written notice of denial shall state:
(i) The reason for denial, with specific reference to the provisions in the Agreement on which the denial is based;
(ii) A description of any additional material or information required and an explanation of why it is necessary; and
(iii) An explanation of the Agreement’s claims review procedure.
Denial of Claim. The Plan Administrator, in its sole and complete discretion, will make all initial determinations as to the right of any person to benefits. If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator will send the Claimant a written or electronic notice, informing the Claimant of the denial. The notice must be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and must contain the following information: the specific reason(s) for the denial; a specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; if additional material or information is necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim, a description of such material or information and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and an explanation of the Plan’s claim review (i.e., appeal) procedures, the time limits applicable to such procedures, and Xxxxxxxx’s right to request arbitration if the claim denial is upheld in whole or in part on appeal. Written or electronic notice of the denial will be given within a reasonable period of time [but no later than ninety (90) days] from the date the Plan Administrator receives the claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In no event may the extension exceed ninety (90) days from the end of the initial ninety (90) day period. If an extension is necessary, prior to the expiration of the initial ninety (90) day period, the Plan Administrator will send the Claimant a written notice indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render a decision.
Denial of Claim. If the claim or request is denied, the written notice of denial shall state:
(a) The reasons for denial, with specific reference to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
(b) A description of any additional material or information required and an explanation of why it is necessary, in which event the time frames listed in section 8.1 shall be one hundred and eighty (180) and seventy-five (75) days from the date of the initial claim respectively; and
(c) An explanation of the Plan's claim review procedure.
Denial of Claim. If a Claimant’s claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will furnish the Claimant with a written or electronic notification of the Plan’s adverse determination. This written or electronic notification must be provided within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 90 days after the receipt of the claim by the Administrator, unless the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If the Administrator determines that an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. In no event will such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render the benefit determination. In the case of a claim for disability benefits, if disability is determined by a physician chosen by the Administrator (rather than relying upon a determination of disability for Social Security purposes), then instead of the above, the Administrator will provide the Claimant with written or electronic notification of the Plan’s adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of the claim by the Plan. This period may be extended by the Plan for up to 30 days, provided that the Administrator both determines that such an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Plan and notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period the Administrator determines that, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to an additional 30 days, provided that the Administrator notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a decision. In the case of any such extension, the notice of extension will specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the cla...
