Text of Ninth Circuit Opinion: ERISA Church Plan Exemption Requires that Plan Be Established by Church (PDF)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit July 27, 2016 26 pages. "We conclude that the more natural reading of subparagraph (C)(i) is that the phrase preceded by the word 'includes' serves only to broaden the definition of organizations that may maintain a church plan. The phrase does not eliminate the requirement that a church plan must be established by a church. The other circuit courts that have considered the question agree with this reading." [Rollins v. Dignity Health, No. 15-15351 (9th Cir. July 26, 2016)] |
