District Court Rejects ERISA Preemption for 'Voluntary' Executive Disability Coverage Marketed Through Employer
Roberts Disability Law 
Dec. 23, 2025 "A recent [District Court decision] is a helpful reminder that insurers do not get to 'ERISA-wash' a claim simply because coverage was offered to employees through an employer channel.
