Civil Procedure
ERISA, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, is a federal law enacted in 1974 that sets standards for pension and health plans in private industry. The law was designed to protect the interests of employee benefit plan participants and their beneficiaries by establishing rules on the disclosure of financial and other information, ensuring fiduciary responsibilities, and providing a mechanism for claims and appeals regarding benefits. Its regulations significantly influence how civil procedure applies to cases involving employee benefits and retirement plans.
