17-416 2d Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2017

Issues: (1) Whether ERISA § 502(a) completely pre-empts state laws that purport to invalidate ERISA plan provisions requiring reimbursement by plan participants who separately receive payment from third-party tortfeasors; and (2) whether an ERISA plan's choice-of-law provision requiring that the plan “will be construed” in accordance with a particular state's laws incorporates state substantive law or only state law governing construction of the plan's terms.
