: Appellate Law and PracticeCA1: a Checkbook is not a payment under ERISA
By S. COTUS
Mogel v. UNUM Life Insurance, No. 08-1334. This is an ERISA case. It holds that ?security accounts? that were established to fund death benefits are not separate accounts and therefore UNUM?s ERISA-based fiduciary duty applies. UNUM claims that it complied with its fiduciary duties by ?delivering a checkbook? (with small limits on the amount of the checks that could be written). This seems pretty obvious, but it is a reversal of the District Court.
