Common 401(k) and Pension Plan Disputes

Denied or Delayed Retirement Benefits

Retirement plans are required to pay out benefits when an employee reaches retirement age. However, some plan administrators delay or deny payments due to:

  • Disputes over vesting or eligibility
  • Alleged plan misinterpretations
  • Incorrect calculations of owed benefits
Mismanagement of Funds

Employers and plan administrators are responsible for managing retirement funds properly. If a plan is mismanaged, employees may face:

  • Significant losses in their retirement accounts
  • Inaccurate statements regarding account balances
  • Breaches of fiduciary duty by plan administrators
Incorrect Benefit Calculations

Errors in calculating retirement benefits can leave employees with less money than they are owed. Common miscalculations involve:

  • Misstated earnings or contribution amounts
  • Incorrect application of early withdrawal penalties
  • Misinterpretation of pension formulas
Failure to Provide Required Disclosures

Under ERISA, plan administrators must provide clear and accurate information about retirement benefits. Employees may have a legal claim if they were given misleading or incomplete details about their plan.
