How long do I have to file an administrative appeal after claim denial?
It depends on the type of benefits you are seeking and the particular language of your plan. Several other factors may also impact the answer to this question. One important factor is whether your plan administrator denied your benefits in accordance with the Department of Labor regulations which govern ERISA-related benefits. That being said, in most cases dealing with disability benefits, you have 180 days from the denial of your claim within which to file an appeal.
