Invalidity of Assignments. Neither coverage under the Plan nor a Covered Person’s claims or rights under the Plan, including but not limited to claims for payment of benefits, are assignable in whole or in part to any person or entity at any time, and any such assignments shall be considered void. Coverage under the Plan is expressly non–assignable and non–transferable and will be forfeited if a Covered Person attempts to assign or transfer coverage or aids or attempts to aid any other person in fraudulently obtaining coverage under the Plan. If Claim Administrator makes payment because of a person’s wrongful use of the identification card of a Covered Person, such payment will be considered a proper payment and Claim Administrator will have no obligation to pursue recovery of such payment; however, once the invalid assignment or transfer has been identified and Claim Administrator has acknowledged the situation, Claim Administrator will pursue recoveries as described in Section 4.2 “Claim Overpayments.”
