From Explaining What ERISA Is & How it Works
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act was implemented in 1974 to protect employees and their contractual benefits. If your employer offers group disability insurance, it is likely governed by ERISA. While it may seem that this act would simplify the process of receiving benefits after an injury or illness, that is often not the case. Applying for and receiving benefits under ERISA is complex, and many individuals find themselves with denied claims.
