Text of Federal District Court Opinion: ERISA Provides No Statutory Penalty for Failure to Provide Plan Guidelines
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Link to more items from this source
June 23, 2014

"The disability durational and claims guidelines that plaintiff requested fall under the ERISA section 1133 regulations because, construing the facts in favor of plaintiff, they were 'relied upon' or at least 'considered ... in the course of making [plaintiff's] benefit determination.' Indeed, that is the very reason plaintiff seeks them.... Nothing in the text of the ERISA statute or regulations indicates that section 1132(c) penalties are available for violations of section 1133 or its regulations, and section 1133 does not provide for penalties." [Marcin v. Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company, No. 13-1308 (D.D.C. June 20, 2014)]
