Defendant's Attorney: Wilmington, Delaware labor law lawyers represented the Defendants.

Description: Wilmington, DE labor law lawyers represented the Plaintiffs who sued the Defendants on an E.R.I.S.A. law theory.

"ERISA is a federal law enacted in 1974 that protects the interests of participants in private-sector employee benefit plans. These plans can include pension plans, health insurance plans, and life insurance plans. ERISA sets minimum standards for these plans and imposes certain fiduciary duties on the people who manage them.

Here are some of the key things ERISA does:

Requires plan administrators to provide participants with certain information about their plans, such as the plan's benefits, vesting provisions, and funding status.
Sets minimum standards for plan funding, meaning that plans must have enough money to pay promised benefits.
Protects participants' vested benefits from being forfeited if they leave their job.
Gives participants the right to sue their plan for benefits or for breaches of fiduciary duty.

ERISA is a complex law with many different provisions. If you have questions about how ERISA applies to your specific situation, you should consult with an attorney or benefits consultant.

Here are some additional things to know about ERISA:

ERISA does not cover all employee benefit plans. Government employee plans, church plans, and plans maintained by small businesses are exempt from some or all of ERISA's provisions.
ERISA is enforced by the Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA). EBSA investigates complaints about ERISA violations and takes legal action against plan administrators who violate the law.
ERISA has been amended several times since it was enacted. The most recent major amendments were made in 2006 by the Pension Protection Act of 2006."
