WHEN WILL CHANGES TO YOUR COVERAGE TAKE EFFECT? Once your coverage begins, any increased or additional coverage will take effect immediately if you are in active employment or if you are on a covered leave of absence. If you are not in active employment due to injury or sickness, any increased or additional coverage will begin on the date you return to active employment. Any decrease in coverage will take effect immediately but will not affect a payable claim that occurs prior to the decrease. WHEN DOES YOUR COVERAGE END? Your coverage under the policy or a plan ends on the earliest of: - the date the policy or a plan is cancelled; - the last day of the period for which you made any required contributions; or - the last day you are in active employment except as provided under the covered leave of absence provision. Unum will provide coverage for a payable claim which occurs while you are covered under the policy or plan. WHAT ARE THE TIME LIMITS FOR LEGAL PROCEEDINGS? - the date you no longer are in an eligible group; - the date your eligible group is no longer covered; You can start legal action regarding your claim 60 days after proof of claim has been given and up to 3 years from the later of when original proof of your claim was first required to have been given; or your claim was denied; or your benefits were terminated, unless otherwise provided under federal law. HOW CAN STATEMENTS MADE IN YOUR APPLICATION FOR THIS COVERAGE BE USED? Unum considers any statements you or your Employer make in a signed application for coverage a representation and not a warranty. If any of the statements you or your Employer make are not complete and/or not true at the time they are made, we can: - reduce or deny any claim; or - cancel your coverage from the original effective date. We will use only statements made in a signed application as a basis for doing this. If the Employer gives us information about you that is incorrect, we will: - use the facts to decide whether you have coverage under the plan and in what amounts; and - make a fair adjustment of the premium.
