submitted 60 years ago by Pub. L. 89-554 to r/title-5-GOVERNMENT-ORGANIZATION-AND-EMPLOYEES · 65 words · no verdicts yet
This section requires the Office of Personnel Management to give each insured employee a certificate describing benefits, payment recipients, claims procedures, and key policy terms.
The Office must arrange for each insured employee to receive a certificate stating the benefits the employee is entitled to, who receives them, where claims are submitted, and the policy provisions mainly affecting the employee. This certificate takes the place of the certificate the insurance company otherwise would have to issue.
The Office of Personnel Management shall arrange to have each insured employee receive a certificate setting forth the benefits to which he is entitled, to whom the benefits are payable, to whom the claims shall be submitted, and summarizing the provisions of the policy principally affecting him. The certificate is issued instead of the certificate which the insurance company would otherwise be required to issue.
