Employers who breached their duty to pay medical and retirement benefits owed under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) can be held civilly liable. As ERISA mandates employee pension plans and benefits, a minimal standard of providing help when requested must be upheld. Retirees and current workers deprived of benefits sustain a financial injury, a foundational element necessary when suing the employer or benefits holder.
Featuring Los Angeles denial of medical and retirement benefits attorneys skilled in all facets of employment law, JML Law, APLC has recovered millions for retirees denied their pensions and workers denied medical benefits. Employees always have the right to review retirement plans anytime during their tenure to assure accuracy, although many trust the retirement system enough not to worry.
JML Law, APLC: A Firm With ERISA Experience
Companies make mistakes and calculations; no retirement system is flawless. However, calculating pension and medical benefits that unjustly enrich companies is an illegal action that should not be overlooked. Upon retiring or when medical benefits are needed, employees will undergo an application process that includes an administrative review. If you believe figures do not coincide with what you’re expecting, or your benefits are outright denied, an exhaustive appeals process will ensue.
At this point, you’ll entertain bringing aboard legal representation to assure the Plan Administrator is fairly adjudicating your appeal. JML Law, APLC, upholding the highest integrity of jurisprudence, can look over documentation before submitting your appeal, going as far as directly contacting the Plan Administrator or their legal counsel to ensure the initial decision is reversed and benefits are correctly paid. Any damages sustained by retirees or workers may require a separate action.
Illegally amending benefits without the prior consent of the employee is another actionable offense. This may happen if the company you work for merges and adopts, in whole or in part, the secondary company’s benefits schedule. Failing to uphold original benefit plans breaches the company’s fiduciary responsibility to the employee to whom they extended benefits.
