In this episode, Suzanne Spradley and Chase Cannon discuss a recent circuit-level decision relating to employee termination and its interaction with a participant lawsuit based on ERISA Section 510 (which prohibits an employer’s interference with a plan participant’s right to benefits). Suzanne provides background on ERISA 510 and how it applies to employer’s group health plans.
Suzanne and Chase analyze a case where an employer terminated an employee shortly after their return to work following a leave of absence for a medical procedure. The two close by discussing how the court weighed certain factors when determining the employer violated the participant’s Section 510 rights. |

In this episode, Chase Cannon and Suzanne Spradley take a tour across the nation as they review several new regulatory developments in six states that could impact employers with employees or fully insured plans in those states. Chase outlines new or recently effective paid family leave rules in New York, Oregon, and Maine.
Chase and Suzanne delve into the impact of 2024 rate adjustments relating to San Francisco’s Health Care Security Ordinance and New York’s Paid Family Leave laws, including updated notices and other information on which employers need awareness. The two attorneys also highlight several new Texas laws that implicate multiple employer welfare arrangements (MEWAs) and fully insured plan coverage of prescription drugs and ground ambulance services. |
