How courts have described this case

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

• “[F]or instance, if a plan unambiguously provides 20 weeks of compensation as a severance benefit for an employee who has worked for the company for 10 years, the administrator abuses its discretion by reading the plan to provide 17 weeks of compensation.”
• “For instance, we have found a conflict of interest when an employee dem onstrated that the administrator, who was closely aligned with the plan sponsor’s leadership, relied on biased information provided by the plan’s sponsor.” (italics in original)
• “Interpretive discretion only allows an administrator to resolve ambiguity.”
