Eleventh Circuit Addresses Statutory Penalty Claims under ERISA
Wilson Elser Link to more items from this source
Aug. 25, 2015

"The Eleventh Circuit overlooked the fact that a plan can have multiple fiduciaries performing different functions. In most cases, a plan's insurer will have the authority to make the final claim decision and will even identify itself as a fiduciary of the plan. This does not mean, however, that the insurer has agreed to assume the duties of the Plan Administrator to disclose plan documents or that it can be liable for penalties. In most cases, the plan insurer will not even have copies of the plan documents other than the policy." [Smiley v. Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Co., No. 15-10056 (11th Cir. July 17, 2015; unpub.)]
