Description
Abstract: While employers and plan sponsors strive to be consistent with the retirement plan information given to participants, on rare occasions a conflict in information may exist. In a recent case, plan participants sought to enforce the language of a misleading summary plan description (SPD) that didn’t agree with the terms of the plan document. This article discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that reinforced the rule that the plan document controls the benefits.
