Discussion of Sulyma v. Intel Decision Friday, March 6, 2020 (2pm - 2:45pm US/Eastern)

This is a member-only webinar.*

Join us for a legal update webinar led by Tony Shelley with Miller & Chevalier, who will discuss the details of the case, the Court’s ruling, and the impact on plan sponsors.

On February 26, the Supreme Court released its unanimous decision in favor of the plaintiffs in the case of Intel Corp. Inv. Policy Comm. v. Sulyma.

The issue before the Court concerned the meaning of “actual knowledge” under ERISA and whether a plaintiff can circumvent ERISA’s three-year statute of limitations by claiming not to have read disclosures furnished directly to him by plan fiduciaries using the means approved by the governing federal safe harbor regulation.

In its unanimous ruling, the Court decreed that plan participants do not have “actual knowledge” of an alleged violation simply by receiving such information if they did not read the information or do not recall doing so. This decision leaves open a huge question about exactly how the three-year statute of limitations can be triggered.
