"The law's 'any-willing-provider' requirement -- which limits a plan's ability to exclude pharmacies from its network -- has an 'impermissible connection' with benefit plans governed by [ERISA], [the district court judge] said ... because it dictates the scope of provider networks eliminates plans' 'discretion to shape benefits as they see fit'[.]" [McKee Foods Corporation v. BFP Inc., No. 21-0279 (E.D. Tenn. Mar. 31, 2025)]

"Many of the major provisions Congress enacted late last year in sweeping workplace retirement access legislation will take effect in 2024, but plan sponsors are still wary of the mostly optional coverage enhancements. Employers don't want to test the waters by adopting plan amendments that would allow them to treat worker student loan repayments as 401(k) contributions or establish in-plan emergency savings accounts, according to benefits advisers and attorneys."

"Eleven law professors called on the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that companies can't unilaterally limit the courts in which workers can sue over their health and retirement benefits.... The Supreme Court expressed interest in the issue in 2016, after the Sixth Circuit became the first appeals court to hold that forum selection clauses are permissible under ERISA.... Since then, the Third, Seventh, and Eighth circuits all followed the Sixth Circuit's lead in upholding these clauses from ERISA challenges."

"There's one area where the traditional pension plan is getting new life -- as a tax dodge for wealthy business owners. Pensions, also known as defined-benefit plans, can be used by doctors, law partners and wealth managers to stash hundreds of thousands of dollars in income a year. By doing so, they'll get around the income limits Congress created to bar them from a generous new tax break for owners of pass-through entities, who report the firms' income on their individual tax returns."

17 pages."This chapter will provide an overview of the most common purposes for which the funding level of a single-employer PBGC-covered pension plan is determined, how assets and liabilities are determined for each of these purposes, what the key consequences are if a plan is underfunded for one or more of these purposes, what the key consequences are if the employer has failed to satisfy the minimum funding requirements for the plan, and what the key options are for dealing with unaffordable contributions."

"The law firm Morgan Lewis & Bockius tops the list of law firms getting the most business from large employers hit with ERISA class actions in the past year. Since November 2015, Morgan Lewis has been hired to represent employers in 19 [ERISA] class actions, according to Bloomberg BNA's research.... O'Melveny & Myers LLP closely follows."

"Two employer business groups are asking government agencies for guidance that would provide them protection against states seeking to block them from covering abortion services after the US Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.... The Business Group on Health earlier this month sought help from the secretaries of [HHS], Labor, and the Treasury.... The HR Policy Association also sent a letter to the three agencies asking for governmental guidance on issues related to the high court's decision in Dobbs[.]"

"The recent wins make it harder for states to rein in prescription drug costs and bring more transparency to the price-setting process. They've also weakened the protections ERISA put in place to prevent beneficiaries from having to pay inflated drug prices."

Bloomberg BNA
Mar. 18, 2018
"The Labor Department won't be enforcing the fiduciary rule -- at least for now -- after a federal appeals court in Louisiana vacated the rule, a department spokesman told Bloomberg Law March 16.... It's helpful to the industry that the DOL is acknowledging that it covers the whole rule and has a nationwide impact, Kevin Walsh, an attorney with Groom Law Group [said] ... It would also be helpful for the DOL to make clear that the rule is off the books and other parties can't enforce it, Walsh added."
