FF5 #62 - Forfeiture Lawsuits - Read Your Plan Document PLEASE!

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the recent surge of forfeiture lawsuits and urges plan fiduciaries, advisors, and committee members to scrutinize their fiduciary processes rigorously. Referencing previous episodes on the topic, Dyson summarizes lawsuits filed by the Schlichter Bogard law firm, which allege that plan sponsors violated fiduciary duties by not using forfeitures in accordance with plan documents, thereby contravening the duty to follow plan terms consistent with ERISA. He emphasizes the importance of reviewing plan documents, operating plans as intended, and clearly outlining policies on forfeitures to mitigate litigation risks. Use the keyword “90north”: https://www.fiduciaryinabox.com/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice, or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstances of all qualified plans can vary, and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.
