CLAIMS PROVISIONS NOTICE OF CLAIM: Written notice must be given to us within thirty-one (31) days after the loss occurs, or as soon as reasonably possible. The notice should be sent to us at our Administrative Office or to our authorized agent. The notice should include the Insured's name and the Policy Number. CLAIM FORMS: When we receive notice of claim, we will send the claimant the forms to file the proof of loss. If we do not send them within fifteen (15) days after we receive notice, then the proof of loss requirements will be met by giving us a written statement of the nature and extent of the loss within ninety (90) days after the loss began. WRITTEN PROOF OF LOSS: For any covered loss, written proof must be sent to us within ninety (90) days. If it is not reasonably possible to give proof within ninety (90) days, the claim is not affected if the proof is sent as soon as reasonably possible. In any event, proof must be given within one (1) year, unless the claimant is legally incapable of doing so. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: When we receive satisfactory written proof of loss, we will pay any benefits due within thirty (30) days for a clean claim that was submitted electronically. If a clean claim was not submitted electronically, we will pay any benefits due within forty-five (45) days. Benefits that provide for periodic payment will be paid accordingly. If the Insured has died and we have not paid all benefits due, we may pay up to $1,000 to any relative by blood or marriage, or to the executor or administrator of the Insured's estate. The payment will only be made to persons entitled to it. An expense incurred as a result of the Insured's last illness, death or burial will entitle a person to this payment. The payments will cease when a valid claim is made for the benefit. We will not be liable for any payment we have made in good faith. Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company shall serve as the claims review fiduciary with respect to the insurance policy and the Plan. The claims review fiduciary has the discretionary authority to interpret the Plan and the insurance policy and to determine eligibility for benefits. Decisions by the claims review fiduciary shall be complete, final and binding on all parties. This provision applies only where the interpretation of this Policy is governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq. TIME OF PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Simple interest will accrue on claims that are not processed promptly. The rate will be as required by Indiana law. Under a clean claim, interest will accrue from: (1) the 46th day after we receive the first proof of claim in writing; or (2) the 31st day after we receive the first proof of claim by electronic means. A claim is considered "clean" when the first proof of claim is complete; no part of the claim is contested; and no other defect prevents prompt payment. A claim will also be considered "clean" when we fail to promptly request more information or to resolve it, within 45 days after receiving a written claim or 30 days after receiving an electronic claim. Under a defective claim, interest will accrue from: (1) the 46th day after we receive enough proof to confirm liability, if the claim is filed in writing and we request more information within 45 days; or (2) the 31st day after we receive enough proof to confirm liability, if the claim is filed by electronic means and we request more information within 30 days. A claim is considered "defective" when the first proof of claim is incomplete; any part of the claim is contested; or some other defect prevents prompt payment. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: At our own expense, we will have the right to have an Insured examined as reasonably necessary when a claim is pending. We can have an autopsy made unless prohibited by law. LEGAL ACTIONS: No legal action may be brought against us to recover on this Policy within sixty (60) days after written proof of loss has been given as required by this Policy. No action may be brought after three (3) years (Kansas, five (5) years; South Carolina, six (6) years) from the time written proof of loss is required to be given. LRS-6451-6 Ed. 2/94 Page 5.0
