Read a random definition: in casu proviso

A quick definition of summary plan description:

A summary plan description is a document that outlines an employee benefit plan. It includes information about who is in charge of the plan, who is eligible to participate, and what might cause someone to be denied benefits. It also lists any insurance companies involved in the plan. This document must be given to all employees who are part of the plan.

A more thorough explanation:

A summary plan description (SPD) is a document that outlines the details of an employee benefit plan. It is required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and must be provided to all participants and beneficiaries of the plan.

The SPD includes important information such as:

  • The name and contact information of the plan administrator
  • The requirements for eligibility and participation in the plan
  • Circumstances that may result in disqualification or denial of benefits
  • The identity of any insurers responsible for financing or administering the plan

For example, if an employee is eligible to participate in a company's 401(k) plan, the SPD would outline the specific requirements for participation, such as the minimum age or length of employment. It would also explain the consequences of not meeting these requirements, such as being ineligible for employer contributions.

Another example would be a health insurance plan. The SPD would outline the specific benefits covered by the plan, such as doctor visits and prescription drugs, as well as any limitations or exclusions, such as pre-existing conditions.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
