Time Period to Begin Processing Claim

[Guest BobParks]

Is there a time requirement, in days, for the administrator to begin processing of a properly documented claim?

Assuming "timely" or "reasonable" are the time limits, have there been any cases where the administrator took 2 months and 3 weeks to begin and that was not "timely"?

Thanks

The ERISA regulations specify response times under claims procedures. Section 2560.503-1.

Thank you for the cite. I used Google and after finding the site I printed out what I needed. Again thanks for the prompt and accurate information.

Thank you for using "cite" and "site" properly.
