DOL Files Amicus Brief Clarifying Fiduciary Use of Forfeited Funds Under ERISA
Employee Benefits Security Administration [EBSA], U.S. Department of Labor [DOL]
Feb. 2, 2026 "[T]he department argues that the district court correctly held that the plan sponsor did not breach its fiduciary duties of prudence and loyalty because the plaintiff's argument only included a bare allegation that forfeitures were not allocated to pay plan expenses, even though the plan at issue provided for fiduciary discretion over that decision. Instead, the brief explains how a prudent and loyal fiduciary might have concluded that it was important to ensure that plan participants received the contributions expressly promised by the plan in a timely manner." [Barragan v. Honeywell Int'l, Inc., No. 24-4529 (D.N.J. Aug. 18, 2025; on appeal to 3d Cir. No. 25-2509)] MORE >> |
