Plan Administration

Plan Administrator and Agent for Service of Legal Process

The administrator of Wesleyan benefit plans is WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY. The administrator's representative is the Director of Human Resources. The Human Resources Office will help you with questions about plan provisions, eligibility and participation.

If a legal summons is to be served on a benefit plan, it should be directed to the agent for service of legal process, the vice president for finance and administration.

A major responsibility of the administrator's representative is to make sure that the provisions of various benefit plans are applied properly and equitably to you and to all other members. If you feel that you have been treated unfairly or denied benefits improperly, you are encouraged to seek a review by the administrator. Any determination by the administrator concerning university benefit plans shall be final and conclusive on all persons in the absence of clear and convincing evidence that the administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously. Decisions by the administrator are subject to review by the vice president for finance and administration to insure that the administrator did not act arbitrarily and capriciously.
