Proskauer ERISA Litigation Newsletter, June 2012
Proskauer Rose LLP Link to more items from this source
June 18, 2012

"This [newsletter] examines the state of the law on two important areas of ERISA litigation -- contractual vesting of retiree medical claims and the exhaustion requirement. First, we examine the evolution of the Sixth Circuit's 'inference,' as articulated in Auto Workers v. Yard-Man, Inc., that an employer intended to provide retirees with lifetime benefits unless the language of the collective bargaining agreement provides otherwise. The case law over the past several years suggests a desire by at least some judges in the Sixth Circuit to find ways to pare back the application of this inference. Next, we discuss how the Supreme Court's decision in Conkright v. Frommert may provide a basis for moving the law in a helpful direction for plans seeking to rely on the exhaustion defense."
