Hanam v. 90 Degree Benefits, LLC

What this case is about

This lawsuit was filed against 90 Degree Benefits, a company that administers employee benefit plans, under the federal law known as ERISA, which protects workers' rights to their workplace benefits. The plaintiffs allege that 90 Degree Benefits failed to properly manage, administer, or pay out benefits that employees were entitled to receive through their employer-sponsored benefit plans. The lawsuit claims that the company breached its duties as a plan administrator, potentially by mishandling claims, improperly denying benefits, or otherwise failing to act in the best interests of plan participants. The proposed class is expected to include employees and former employees who were enrolled in benefit plans administered by 90 Degree Benefits and who were harmed by the company's alleged mismanagement of those plans.
