How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that so long as interpretive changes create no unfair surprise, as when an interpretation is codified in notice-and-comment rulemaking, the agency's interpretation of its own regulations is controlling unless plainly erroneous
• holding that, the DOL regulations interpreting section 13(a)(5) of the FLSA, which were issued through notice-and-comment rule-making pursuant to an express delegation of rule-making authority, were entitled to Chevron deference
• holding that the pre-2015 version of 29 CFR § 552.109 was a permissible exercise of agency discretion and applying the FLSA companionship services exemption to a third-party home care employer
• noting that the FLSA “explicitly leaves gaps” that the Department of Labor has “the power to fill ... through rules and regulations”
• explaining that the Secretary of Labor is authorized “to prescribe necessary rules, regulations, and orders with regard to the amendments made by this Act”
• holding that legislative history may not be considered at Chevron step one
