The only 2 cents I can add here is that the Plan Summary ALWAYS has
wording that the plan documents
themselves are the authoritative source. And yes, that means even if
the summary has an error of glaring
proportions, they will not honor statements in the plan summary
documents.

It's actually a realistic and good thing that the administrator said
she would have to review. She's probably
the administrator for a number a plans and they're likely all slightly
different. I would expect her to get back to
you, or perhaps someone to whom she's delegated.
