What Is Pension Law?
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) protects most employee pensions. ERISA establishes minimum standards for most private employer pension and health care plans. ERISA regulations help employees understand funding, vesting, and benefits for their pension funds.
ERISA requires minimum notice to plan participants of any changes to their pension plan or benefits. Pension providers have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of plan participants. Employees can take legal action against plan providers or employers for mismanagement or a wrongful denial of benefits.
What Are Some Examples of Situations Where I Might Need an ERISA Lawyer?
You pay into your employer-sponsored retirement plan over the course of your employment. Your retirement plan represents your financial investment to provide for you in your older age. If your employer’s plan manager or provider is not meeting their obligations, it can put your financial future at risk. Situations where you might want to talk to an ERISA lawyer include:
- The plan provider is not fully funding the benefit plan
- The plan manager is buying funds with unreasonable fees and costs
- The plan provider is not actively managing benefit accounts
- The plan manager is breaching their fiduciary duty to plan participants
- You were dropped from coverage or denied benefits
How Can an ERISA Lawyer Help Me?
An ERISA lawyer can explain the minimum standards for your benefits plan and explain your legal options. If you believe your employer or plan provider is not meeting their legal obligations, your lawyer can file an ERISA lawsuit to enforce your legal rights. In an ERISA claim, a lawyer can help you recover damages for:
- Lost benefits
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Attorney fees
What Could Happen if I Don’t Hire an ERISA Lawyer?
If you don’t hire an ERISA lawyer, you will be left with whatever the employer or plan provider decides for your benefits. If you are denied benefits or dropped from coverage, you could lose out on benefits in retirement, including health benefits. If the plan provider breaches their fiduciary duties, it could put the pension plan at risk of insolvency. Without an ERISA lawyer, you could face a:
- Loss of pension payments
- Loss or retirement funds
- Loss of medical benefits
