Reviewer notes

The chain has three links and they run on different clocks: the employer has 30 days to tell the administrator, the administrator has 14 days to tell the beneficiary, and for divorce, legal separation or a child ceasing to be a dependent the duty to report sits on the individual with 60 days. Those two events are the ones an employer has no way of knowing about, which is the reason the statute allocates them differently.
