ENFORCEMENT OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS Sample Clauses

ENFORCEMENT OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS. 1. If a Member’s claim for a Benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, such Member has a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. 2. Under XXXXX, there are steps a Member can take to enforce the rights described above. For instance, if a Member requests a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan and does not receive them within thirty (30) days, such Member may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay such Member up to $110 a day until such Member receives the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If a Member has a claim for Benefits that is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, such Member may file suit in a state or federal court. In addition, if a Member disagrees with the Plan’s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order or a Medical Child Support Order, such Member may file suit in federal court. If it should happen that the Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if a Member is discriminated against for asserting such Member’s rights, such Member may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or such Member may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If a Member is successful, the court may order the person the Member has sued to pay these costs and fees. If the Member loses, the court may order such Member to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds such Member’s claim is frivolous. 3. No one, including the Employer, the Members’ union or any other person, may fire an Employee or otherwise discriminate against an Employee in any way to prevent an Employee from obtaining a Benefit or exercising the Employee’s rights under ERISA.
