New ERISA Disability Benefit Claims and Appeals Rules Take Effect April 2, 2018
Hanson Bridgett LLP Link to more items from this source
[Guidance Overview]
Mar. 13, 2018
"The new rules will apply to disability benefit claims under both pension and welfare plans, but only if the plan's claims adjudicator must make a determination of disability in order to decide the claim. If a plan conditions eligibility for benefits on a finding of disability by a third party, such as the Social Security Administration (SSA) or an employer's long-term disability plan, the plan is not subject to the new rules. Plans may be amended to condition eligibility on a determination of disability made by the SSA or the employer's long-term disability plan to avoid the application of the new rules[.]"
