Benefit Review Committee

The Benefit Review Committee was established in 1987 and meets monthly. When a member applies for a benefit and is denied that benefit, the member can appeal the denial. Although the full Board of Trustees makes a final decision whether to uphold or reverse the denial, the Benefit Review Committee hears the appeal. This committee acts as a fact-finder and administrative judge. It reports its findings to the full board and recommends whether a denial should be upheld or reversed.
