ERISA

In 1974, Congress passed a law that protects your employee benefits. Known as ERISA (the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) this law covers your retirement, disability, health, welfare and other employment-related benefits. It details the responsibilities of your employer regarding your employee benefit plans, and it outlines the steps you can take if you believe your rights are being violated.

Melville Johnson, P.C. helps protect employees' rights under ERISA. We use the legal system to obtain the benefits our clients are entitled to under the law.

Any action that your employer takes that limits your benefits — such as firing or disciplining you just as you are about to receive benefits — may be an ERISA violation and should be investigated and addressed. Under your employee benefit plan, you usually have the right to healthcare benefits, even when you have developed a major illness. You may have the right to collect disability or insurance benefits, even if your employer feels your problem does not warrant it. And as a vested employee, you may have the right to collect pension benefits, even though you have not worked for the company for decades.
