The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is meant to protect the interests of workers and their families who rely on pensions, long-term disability plans, and other group benefit packages. ERISA sets the guidelines on group benefits plans and affords covered employees certain rights, including the right to appeal a denial of their claim for benefits.
ERISA requires plans to inform participants with plans regarding information about features and funding. This bestows responsibilities to the providers, the ones who manage and control the assets of those who rely on pensions and disability plans.
The participants of these plans are given the right to sue if they feel like their assets are being mishandled by those who manage the trust. In recent years, there have been expanded health benefits to participants to give them more rights.
Also, in the case of a lost job, participants are sometimes able to extend their health benefits for a limited amount of time in the event of losing their job.
ERISA is a way for individuals with pre-existing conditions to receive coverage. But with each case, there may be unforeseen hurdles that block coverage.
