Claims and Review Procedures. 6.1 For all claims other than Disability benefits:
Claims and Review Procedures. 7.1 For all claims, the following procedures will apply:
Claims and Review Procedures. The following claims procedure shall apply for purposes of this Agreement. The claims procedure in subparagraph (b)(1) below shall be followed with respect to benefits provided by the Insurer under the terms of the Policy. The claims procedure in subparagraph (b)(2) below shall be followed with respect to benefits, if any, provided directly by the Company. The Participant (or the other owner of the Policy designated by the Participant) that owns the Policy (the "Policy Owner") and the Policy Owner's successors, beneficiaries or representatives, as appropriate (individually or collectively, "Claimant"), must follow both procedures, if necessary.
Claims and Review Procedures. As required under Section 2560.503-1(b)(2) of Regulations issued by the Department of Labor, the claims and review procedures are described in detail in the Summary Plan Description for the Plan. A Participant, Beneficiary or alternate payee (collectively referred to as “Claimant” in this section) seeking judicial review of an adverse benefit determination under the Plan, whether in whole or in part, must file any suit or legal action (including, without limitation, a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA) within 12 months of the date the final adverse benefit determination is issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Claimant that fails to engage in or exhaust the claims and review procedures must file any suit or legal action within 12 months of the date of the alleged facts or conduct giving rise to the claim (including, without limitation, the date the Claimant alleges he or she became entitled to the Plan benefits requested in the suit or legal action). Nothing in this Plan should be construed to relieve a Claimant of the obligation to exhaust all claims and review procedures under the Plan before filing suit in state or federal court. A claimant who fails to file such suit or legal action within the 12 months limitations period will lose any rights to bring any such suit or legal action thereafter.
Claims and Review Procedures. Except to the extent that the provisions of any collective-bargaining agreement provide another method of resolving claims for benefits under the Plan, the provisions of this Section 19.03 shall control with respect to the resolution of such claims; provided, however, that the Employer may institute alternative claims procedures that are more restrictive on the Employer and more generous with respect to persons claiming a benefit under the Plan.
Claims and Review Procedures. 6.1 Claims Procedure for other than Disability benefits. Other than with respect to a claim for Disability benefits under section 2.4 hereunder, the Bank will notify any person or entity that makes a claim for benefits under this Agreement (the “Claimant”) in writing, within 90 days after receiving Claimant’s written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or non-eligibility for benefits under the Agreement. If the Plan Administrator determines that the Claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice will state (w) the specific reasons for denial, (x) a specific reference to the provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based, (y) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (z) an explanation of the Agreement’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information concerning steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed.
Claims and Review Procedures. Any claims for benefits under the Agreement shall follow the claims procedure set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
Claims and Review Procedures. Generally the amount credited to the Shortfall Account will be paid under this Agreement without the necessity of the filing a claim. Employee or beneficiary or other person (such being referred to below as a “claimant”) may deliver to the Company a written claim for a determination with respect to the amounts payable to such claimant pursuant to this Agreement. The claim must state with particularity the determination desired by the claimant. Solely for purposes of this Section 7, the term “Company” refers to the Company and any committee designated by the Company to consider claimant’s claim or claimant’s appeal of a denied claim. The Company shall, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of a written claim, send written notification to the claimant as to its disposition, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Company expects to render the final decision. In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, the written notification shall state the specific reason or reasons for the denial, include specific references to pertinent Agreement provisions on which the denial is based, provide an explanation of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and a statement of why such material or information is necessary, and set forth the procedure by which the claimant may appeal the denial of the claim, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review. If the claim has not been granted and notice is not furnished within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph, the claim shall be deemed denied for the purpose of proceeding to appeal in accordance with the following paragraph below. In the event a claimant wishes to appeal the denial of his claim, the claimant may request a review of such denial by making written application to the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written notice of denial (or the date on which such claim is deemed denied if written notice is not received w...
Claims and Review Procedures.
