Subrogation and reimbursement claims by plans that are established and regulated under the Employee Income Security Act (ERISA) have seen significant changes in recent years. From developments at the Federal District Court level to decrees from the US Supreme Court, resolving these claims has become troublesome for everyday personal injury attorneys.

Attorneys John Cattie and Zachary De Leon have years of experience resolving liens against personal injury and workers’ compensation claims. In this program, John and Zach provide the necessary knowledge everyday practitioners need to begin to get the upper hand when negotiating and resolving liens being asserted by ERISA plans. 

Attendees will learn:

• The statutory framework that allows ERISA plans to seek reimbursement under the protection of federal law
• The type of plans ERISA applies to and what is necessary for ERISA plans to obtain preemptive status
• How to determine and obtain evidence of a plan’s funding status
• How case law has developed over the past two and a half decades and where it stands today

In order to successfully analyze, negotiate, and resolve ERISA liens, attorneys need to know the basics of the ERISA statute, which plans are covered under both statute and federal preemption, case law developments from the last 25 years, and how ERISA claims are pursued by employee health and welfare benefit plans.
