RL-HI2-SPR-18-IN 4 SPR-12970 (11/25) PROOF OF CLAIM You must send us written proof of your claim within 90 days after the date of loss. Failure to give such proof within this timeframe will not invalidate or reduce any payable claim if it can be shown that it was not reasonably possible to give such proof within that time, and the proof was given as soon as reasonably possible. However, in any event, you must provide proof of claim no later than one year after the time proof is otherwise required, except in the absence of legal capacity. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION We may require your Spouse to be examined by one or more Doctors or other medical practitioners of our choice. We will pay for this examination. We can require an examination as often as it is reasonable to do so while the claim is pending. We may also require your Spouse to be interviewed by our authorized representative. Failure to comply with this request may result in denial or termination of benefits. BENEFIT PAYMENTS Benefits under this rider are payable to you. Once a claim has been approved, we will make payment immediately upon receipt of due written proof of claim. Any accrued benefits that are payable at your death will be paid according to the BENEFIT PAYMENTS provision in the Certificate. For PORTABILITY FOLLOWING DEATH OR DIVORCE, benefits are payable to your Spouse, and any accrued benefits that are payable at the time of your Spouse’s death will be paid to your Spouse’s estate. Any payment we make in good faith will discharge our liability as to the extent of such payment. We will pay the benefits in one sum or in a method comparable to one sum. Amelia (Amy) J. Vaillancourt Melissa A. O'Donnell President Secretary LEGAL ACTION You can start legal action regarding a claim no earlier than 60 days after written proof of claim has been given to us, and no later than three years from the time proof of claim is required, unless otherwise provided under federal law. Nothing in this provision waives, extends or tolls any applicable statute of limitations governing any claim relating in any way to your Spouse’s coverage.
