FAQ
The Spouse Is the Automatic Beneficiary for Married People A federal law, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), governs most pensions and retirement accounts.
Filing an ERISA Claim: Step-by-Step Guide Step 1: Review Your Plan. The first step in filing an ERISA claim is to review your disability insurance policy thoroughly. Step 2: Gather Evidence. Step 3: File Your Claim. Step 4: Wait for a Decision. Step 5: Appeal if Necessary.
In general, ERISA does not cover plans established or maintained by governmental entities, churches for their employees, or plans which are maintained solely to comply with applicable workers compensation, unemployment or disability laws.
Basic ERISA compliance requires employers provide notice to participants about plan information, their rights under the plan, and how the plan is funded. This includes ensuring plans comply with ERISA's minimum standards, recordkeeping, annual filing and reporting, and fiduciary compliance.
An eligible designated beneficiary (EDB) must be an individual, and not a nonperson entity such as a trust, an estate, or a charity (which would be not designated beneficiaries).
Generally, an ERISA plan participant can select just about anyone to be their beneficiary. Typically, a plan participant selects their spouse, children, or other family members.
The Primary Beneficiaries are owners of shares in the Company; spouse or descendants of the Primary Beneficiaries are owners of the shares in the Company; Primary Beneficiaries or their descendants are Beneficiaries of a Trust that owns shares in the Company.
Tax laws regarding disability settlements are no exception. Generally, if the long-term disability (LTD) policy was provided by the employer as a fringe benefit, the payments you receive—or the lump-sum settlement in an ERISA lawsuit—would be taxed as income.
Most ERISA litigation is filed by an employee or former employee against their employer or insurance company. A significant portion of this ERISA litigation involves disputes over disability benefits. Generally, employees have been denied short-term or long-term disability benefits by their insurance company.
An ERISA lawsuit offers individuals the opportunity to recover various types of damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pension benefits.
