Right of Recovery
If the JPMorgan Chase plan provides benefits to you or a covered dependent that are later determined to be the legal responsibility of another person or company, the JPMorgan Chase plans have the right to recover these payments from you or from the person or company who is determined to be legally responsible. Assignment of your claim to a third party does not exempt you from your responsibility for repaying the plan. You must notify the JPMorgan Chase plan promptly of any circumstance in which a third party may be responsible for compensating you with respect to an illness or injury that results in the JPMorgan Chase plan making payments on your behalf.
If the Plan makes a payment for benefits that is in excess of amounts payable under the terms of the Plan, whether due to error (including, for example, clerical error) or for any other reason, the Plan has the right to recover the overpayment from you, plus interest and costs, through whatever means necessary, including, without limitation, legal action or by offsetting future benefit payments to you, your beneficiary or your or your beneficiary's heirs, assigns or estate.
By accepting benefits from this Plan, you agree that an equitable lien in favor of the Plan automatically attaches against any overpayment made by the Plan at the time the overpayment is made. You also agree that, due to the existence of the equitable lien, you must hold the overpayment amount in a constructive trust and that the Plan has a right to obtain repayment from you whether or not you subsequently spend or commingle the funds.
