Verizon may be facing SCOTUS over benefits [telecom]
Verizon participants petition SCOTUS on right to sue over de-risking deal
BY NICK THORNTON
The Supreme Court is being petitioned to review a claim that could clarify when participants in defined benefit pension plans have a right to sue sponsors under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
The case, Pundt v. Verizon, derives from the landmark case, Lee v. Verizon, which challenged the $8.4 billion pension buyout contract the telecommunications giant purchased from Prudential in 2012.
