Disability Claims. If a claim is related to any distribution or rights to which a Participant or other Claimant may be entitled in connection with the Participant’s termination by reason of suffering a Disability (“Disability Claim”) then, as soon as reasonable but within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such claim, the Committee will send to the Claimant by certified mail, postage prepaid, notice of the granting or denying, in whole or in part of such claim. This period within which the Committee must provide such notice may be extended twice, for up to thirty (30) days per extension, provided that the Committee # determines that an extension is needed and beyond the control of the Plan, and # notifies the Claimant prior to the expiration of the initial forty-five (45) day period or of the first thirty (30) day extension period. In the case of any extension request, the notice of extension shall specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and the Claimant shall be afforded at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information. If the Committee fails to notify the Claimant either that his or her claim has been granted or that it has been denied in whole or in part within the initial forty-five (45) day period or prior to the expiration of an extension, if applicable, then the claim shall be deemed to have been denied as of the last day of the applicable period, and the Claimant then may request a review of his or her claim. The Committee must ensure that all Disability Claims and appeals are adjudicated in a manner designed to ensure the independence and impartiality of the persons involved in making the Disability determination.

Disability Claims. The Committee will provide to every Claimant whose Disability Claim is denied a notice written in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner, including information on how to access non-English language services provided by the Plan. The notice of the denial shall set forth the information contained in [Section 6.6(c)(i)] as well as set forth:

Claims Reviewer. The Committee will deliver to the claims reviewer all documents pertinent to the review. The claims reviewer will make a prompt decision on the review. The decision on review will be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and will include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.
