Pension Benefits

You have been a faithful, dedicated employee. Now it is time to retire — and you have every right to expect the pension benefits promised you. However, over the course of your employment or period of retirement, your company merged or filed for bankruptcy or there may have been a personnel change. All of a sudden your benefits stop coming or never come at all.

Melville Johnson, P.C. has an outstanding track record in litigating even the most challenging and technical cases. Our lawyers help clients obtain all of the benefits to which they are entitled. Typical issues include:

• Pension denial claims
• Benefit entitlement issues arising from the sale of a business
• Retiree medical plan claims
• ERISA preemption
• Pension plan termination and partial termination disagreements
• Withdrawal liability conflicts under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act
• Pension miscalculation claims
• Executive compensation cases
• Severance plan disputes
• Long-term disability, COBRA, life insurance, and other welfare benefit plan contests
• HMO and other managed care cases
• Spousal election benefits
• And others

Our success is grounded in our intimate knowledge of ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act), legislation that covers retirement, disability, healthcare, welfare, and other benefits. Our lawyers' practical understanding of the interaction between ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, and other state and federal statutes governing employee benefit plans is critical to effective litigation — and effective counsel on preventing lawsuits.

A pension plan termination or denial of benefits can come as a shock. At Melville Johnson, P.C., we help clients deal with these and other unexpected events. Our attorneys help clients assert their pension plan rights and obtain the benefits to which they are entitled.
