Your rights under ERISA

As a participant in the ExxonMobil Medical Plan, you have certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that all participants shall be entitled to:

Receive information about your plan and benefits

Examine, without charge, at the office of the Administrator-Benefits and at other specified locations, such as worksites, and union halls, all documents governing the Medical Plan, including contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Medical Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

Obtain, upon written request to the Administrator-Benefits, copies of documents  governing the operation of the Medical Plan including collective bargaining agreements and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated Summary Plan Descriptions. The Administrator may require a reasonable charge for the copies.

Receive a summary of the Medical Plan’s annual financial report. (The Administrator-Benefits is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this Summary Annual Report.)

Prudent actions by plan fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for Medical Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Medical Plan, called fiduciaries, of the Medical Plan have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Medical Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a plan benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

Enforce your rights

If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Medical Plan documents or the latest Summary Annual Report from the Medical Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Administrator-Benefits to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the administrator.

If you have a claim and an appeal for benefits, which are both denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the Medical Plan's decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order, you may file suit in Federal court. Any such lawsuits must be brought within one year of the date on which an appeal was denied. If it should happen that Medical Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

Applicable Law

The Plan and all rights hereunder are governed by and construed, administered, and regulated in accordance with the provisions of ERISA, HIPAA and the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) to the extent applicable, and to the extent not preempted by ERISA, the laws of the state of Texas, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provision.  The Plan may not be interpreted to require any person to take action, or fail to take any action, if to do so would violate any applicable law.

Assistance with your questions

If you have any questions about the Medical Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Administrator-Benefits, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
