Any person whose claim for benefits under the plan has been denied in whole or in part shall receive a notice from the administrator setting forth the specific reasons for such denial, specific references to the plan provisions on which the denial was based and an explanation of the procedure for review of the denial. Such person, or such person’s duly authorized representative, may appeal to the administrator for a review of the denial by sending to the administrator a written request for review within sixty days after receiving notice of the denial. The administrator shall give the claimant the opportunity to review pertinent documents in preparing such request. The request for review shall set forth all grounds on which it is based, together with supporting facts and evidence which the claimant deems pertinent. The administrator may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it deems necessary or advisable in making its review of the denial. Within sixty days after the receipt of the request for review, the administrator shall communicate its decision to the claimant in writing (unless there has been an extension of up to sixty days due to special circumstances, provided the delay and the special circumstances occasioning it are communicated to the claimant within the first sixty day period), and if the administrator confirms the denial, in whole or in part, the communication shall set forth the reasons for the decision and specific references to the plan provisions on which the decision is based.
