“The design is more user-friendly and easier to navigate,” said Norma Crouse, Equitable Life’s assistant vice-president of claims and administration, in a news release. “It allows plan administrators to quickly update plan member changes, perform administrative updates and easily find the documents they need.

“The changes are all based on feedback our clients provided to our service teams. We used their suggestions to deliver a helpful resource tool that meets their needs.”
