Plan Sponsor Takeaways from District Court's Dismissal of Tobacco Surcharge Claims
Thompson Hine 
Nov. 14, 2025 "The court reasoned that a participant who meets the wellness program criteria during the plan year under a reasonable alternative standard has the same reward as a participant who meets the criteria at the beginning of the year: the absence of a prospective surcharge. On that reading, the court held that failure to offer retroactive refunds does not itself render the program discriminatory.... The court declined to impose an exhaustion requirement, reasoning that the claims were statutory, not benefit denials." [Williams v. Bally's Management Group, LLC, No. 25-00147 (D.R.I. Nov. 4, 2025)] MORE >> |
