Dave Baker Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Here's a "letter to the editor" received by BenefitsLink: --------------- July 15, 2003 Dear Editor: Hate to be picky, but the [July 14, 2003 BenefitsLink welfare plans] newsletter description of the 5th Cir. opinion in the Schlumberger case is very misleading. Far from adopting the "serious consideration" test, the court rejected that test as a bright-line test for determining whether the employer had breached its fiduciary duties. Instead, the court adopted a fact-specific analysis of whether the information, or lack of it, was material to the employee's decision. In addition, the court held that employer's do not have a fiduciary duty to affirmatively disclose that they are considering a plan amendment. Hope you find this useful. Overall, your newsletters are a great source of info on a wide variety of topics. I find them very useful! Bill Brown wbrown6@wi.rr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
