Description
Abstract: Qualified retirement plan sponsors must ensure that information provided to plan participants is accurate and reliable and follows the plan document provisions. As pointed out by one recent court case, Ladouceur v. Credit Lyonnais, poor communication or misinformation has the potential to cause significant problems for a plan sponsor if participants attempt to use incorrect information. This article provides a lesson on what employers may or may not communicate orally to employees about ERISA benefits as compared to what they must put in writing.
