Common use of Eligibility for Benefit Clause in Contracts

Eligibility for Benefit. In order to qualify for the long-term disability benefit confirmation is required that the employee is totally unable to work. The services of an independent agent will normally be contracted to do a claim investigation and comment on what action they would see as appropriate under the circumstances. This confirmation will be required to initiate benefit payments and will also be required on a periodic basis for the duration of the disability. The company reserves the right to have an approved agent examine, as often as may be reasonably required, an employee who is receiving this benefit.
