From the supplier: A number of court decisions have explored employee remedies in cases of employer misrepresentations about fringe benefits. In general, ERISA preemption has defeated estoppel or misrepresentation claims brought by employees against employers or insurance companies. Claims against employers over once promised postretirement medical benefits have proliferated but have commonly ended in rulings favoring the employer. Courts have noted that employers reserved the right to amend such benefits; that employees did not have a permanent, vested right to their medical benefits; and that employers did not have a fiduciary liability to provide lifetime health benefits.
