Failure to furnish such proof within the time required shall not invalidate or reduce any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within such time, provided such proof is furnished as soon as reasonably possible and in no event, except in the absence of legal capacity, later than one (1) year from the time proof is otherwise required.
The following provision is added to the section entitled Claims Information:
Time of Payment of Claim
All benefits payable under this certificate, for any loss will be paid within 25 days after receipt of due written proof of such loss in the form of a clean claim where claims are submitted electronically, and within 35 days after where claims are submitted in paper format. We will pay the appropriate benefit in full, or any portion of the claim that is clean, and notify you of the reasons why the claim or portion thereof is not clean and will not be paid and what substantiating documentation and information is required to adjudicate the claim as clean.

If we fail to pay benefits when due, the person entitled to such benefits may bring action to recover such benefits, any interest which may accrue as provided above and any other damages as may be allowable by law.
The provision entitled Maximum Coverage is amended so that the maximum coverage limit does not apply to the Flight Accident or Travel Accident benefits.

The provision entitled Subrogation is amended to read:
Subrogation
When someone is responsible for your loss, we have the right to recover any payments we've made to you or someone else in relation to your claim, as permitted by law. Everyone eligible to receive payment for a claim submitted to us must cooperate with this process, and must refrain from doing anything that would adversely affect our rights or the rights of Jefferson to recover payment. Subrogation does not take place until you have been made whole.
There are no other changes to the certificate.
