The year 2016 has only just started, and we have already seen several important court decisions related to employee benefit plans and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). This Client Alert provides a brief overview of four of these cases—Montanile v. Board of Trustees of the National Elevator Industry Health Benefit Plan, Amgen Inc. v. Harris, Tackett v. M& G Polymers USA, LLC and John L. Callo, et al., v. Moen Inc. These two U.S. Supreme Court cases and two Sixth Circuit cases, respectively, provide important decisions and insight for employers and fiduciaries of ERISA-covered plans.
