When the employee brings a claim to the local managing body following the employer’s rejection of his claim, he must produce to this body a copy of the employer’s rejection decision or, in the event of implicit rejection, a copy of the proof of receipt of his claim.
The acknowledgement of receipt sent by the management body to the employee states that if no reply is received within six months of receipt, the claim is deemed to have been rejected and may be contested before the specially designated court within two months.
The six-month period is extended to nine months if the managing body deems it necessary to carry out an on-site inspection of the effectiveness or extent of the exposure. It then informs the insured by any means that can be used to prove the date of receipt.
The employee may refer the matter to the specially designated court within two months of notification of the managing body’s explicit rejection decision or the date of the implicit rejection decision.
