Benefits Handbook

If you disagree with the determination as to whether you come within the definition of an eligible employee, or the determination as to whether you satisfy an eligibility date requirement or otherwise complied with the mandatory claim filing process as described in the STD Benefits Payroll Policy, you must appeal to the Plan Administrator in writing within 30 calendar days of the Plan Administrator's determination. The Plan Administrator's decisions on any STD Benefits Payroll Policy matter related to the interpretation of who is an "eligible employee", or whether eligibility date requirements and/or the mandatory claim filing process has been complied with will be final, binding and conclusive with respect to all interested persons.
