Title: Claims Procedure for Plans Providing Disability Benefits. Final rule. Author: Employee Benefits Security Administration, Department of Labor. Journal: Fed Regist; 2016 Dec 19; 81(243):92316-43. PubMed ID: 28030889. Abstract: This document contains a final regulation revising the claims procedure regulations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) for employee benefit plans providing disability benefits. The final rule revises and strengthens the current rules primarily by adopting certain procedural protections and safeguards for disability benefit claims that are currently applicable to claims for group health benefits pursuant to the Affordable Care Act. This rule affects plan administrators and participants and beneficiaries of plans providing disability benefits, and others who assist in the provision of these benefits, such as third-party benefits administrators and other service providers.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
