What Is ERISA?

San Francisco, California, ERISA Law Attorneys

ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act) is a federal law that governs almost all employer-provided benefit and pension plans. The ERISA rules provide a method for resolving long term disability claims. However, the law also limits many rights of those claiming disability benefits.

If you have a condition that renders you unable to work and are in need of benefits, it is important to work with an experienced California disability income ERISA attorney. At Roboostoff & Kalkin, we can help.

Long Term Disability Benefits

There is no significant legal penalty for insurance companies or employers that deny long term disability benefits. Therefore, a great number of claims are denied upon first filing and enter a lengthy long term disability claim process. Although ERISA laws establish a process for resolving claims, consumer rights are actually limited. For example, there is usually not a right to a jury trial.

Our long term disability lawyers assist clients with such disability claim matters as:

• Claim preparation
• Applying for benefits
• Appealing benefit denials
• Appealing benefits termination
• Litigation in state or federal court
• Other ERISA-related issues
