Other Legal Information
Consistency of Treatment
The plan administrator will take such action from time to time as may be necessary to assure that all claims for benefits under the plan are determined in accordance with the applicable plan documents and that the provisions of the applicable plan documents are applied consistently to similarly situated plan participants and their dependents.
Liability for Payment
Neither DallasNews Corporation nor any DallasNews Corporation company will have any obligation to make a benefit payment to you or your dependents under a plan or program that is fully insured. The insurer is solely responsible to make such benefit payments, and DallasNews Corporation and the DallasNews Corporation companies will have no liability to you or your dependents if the insurer fails to make any payments required under any insured plan or program.
The plans and programs that are fully insured are the following:
Long-Term Disability Plan
Life Insurance Plan (basic, supplemental and dependent life insurance)
Personal Accident Insurance Plan
Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan
Recovery of Overpayments
The amount of your plan benefits will be adjusted if:
You have misstated any information in your application for plan coverage (including any statement of health)
You do not report required information while receiving company provided benefits
Any error is made in calculating your benefits
If a benefit is overpaid or benefits are duplicated, you are expected to repay the plan within 60 days. If you do not, the plan may reduce or refuse future benefits until the overpayment is repaid. The plan may also take additional action allowed by law.
In most cases, no interest will be charged on the amount of any overpayment or duplication of benefits, and, unless required by law, no interest will be paid on any underpayment of benefits or on any benefit payments, which have been delayed for any reason.
