About This Summary Plan Description
This section is the summary plan description (SPD) and the plan document for the JPMorgan Chase U.S. Fertility Benefits Program, which is a benefit offered under the JPMorgan Chase U.S. Medical Plan. This summary plan description provides you with important information required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) about the Program.
While ERISA does not require JPMorgan Chase to provide you with benefits, it does mandate that JPMorgan Chase clearly communicate to you how the Program operates and what rights you have under the law regarding Program benefits. The U.S. Department of Labor requires JPMorgan Chase to routinely provide benefits plan summaries to Program participants. Please retain this section for your records.
Be sure to read the "Program Administration" section for more important details about the Program and this summary plan description.
Please Note: No person or group (other than the plan administrator for the JPMorgan Chase U.S. Benefits Program) has any authority to interpret the plans (or official plan documents) or to make any promises to you about them. The plan administrator for the JPMorgan Chase U.S. Benefits Program has complete authority in his or her absolute discretion to construe and interpret the terms of the plans and any underlying insurance policies and/or contracts, including the eligibility to participate in the plans, and to make factual determinations.
All decisions of the plan administrator for the JPMorgan Chase U.S. Benefits Program are final and binding upon all affected parties. The plan administrators delegate their discretion to interpret the plans to the claims administrators, and to decide claims and appeals, including making factual determinations, to:
  • The claims administrators; and

No Assignment of Benefits
The plans are used exclusively to provide benefits to you and, in some cases, your survivors. Neither you nor JPMorgan Chase can assign, transfer, or attach your benefits, or use them as collateral for a loan. You may not assign your right to file actions under ERISA regarding the plans, or use power of attorney or similar arrangements for that purpose.
Please Note: You may assign to a health care service provider the right to payment. Please contact the HR Answers Benefits Contact Center at 877-JPMChase ((877) 576-2427) for more information.
