Duration of Benefits Eligibility for Income Protection benefits will cease upon the earliest of the following dates:
Payment of Benefits a) In computing the amount of disability benefits, disability will be considered as starting from the first day of disability; however, an employee must be certified by a medical practitioner for the disability within the first three days of disability. In the event that the employee is not certified within the first three days, disability will be considered as starting two complete days prior to the day that the employee is actually certified by a medical practitioner.
Termination of Benefits Except as provided in Section 2 above or as may be required by law, Executive’s participation in all employee benefit (pension and welfare) and compensation plans of the Company shall cease as of the Termination Date. Nothing contained herein shall limit or otherwise impair Executive’s right to receive pension or similar benefit payments that are vested as of the Termination Date under any applicable tax-qualified pension or other plans, pursuant to the terms of the applicable plan.
Restoration of Benefits The correction method should restore the plan to the position it would have been in had the failure not occurred, including restoration of current and former participants and beneficiaries to the benefits and rights they would have had if the failure had not occurred.

The effective date will be assigned by Blue Shield and is the later of the following dates: 1) on the first day of the month following the date a properly completed application is received, and if underwriting is required when approved, by Blue Shield or 2) on the date established by Blue Shield if confirmation of a disenrollment from a Medicare Advantage plan or other health plan or policy is required before cover- age can begin under this Agreement.
