Although ERISA generally provides employers with substantial flexibility in
the design of employee benefit plans, other federal laws, particularly the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Age Discrimination
Employment Act (ADEA), may restrict employer plan design choices. Based on
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Congress
also added a new prohibition under ERISA prohibiting discrimination in group
health plans on the basis of health status factors. Litigation involving
contraceptives also has sparked additional litigation in this evolving area of the
law. Current trends and litigation involving benefits-related issues will be the
focus of this panel.
