What is the ERISA?
Posted on Wednesday, January 25th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, ERISA, was set up in 1974 with the intention of guarding individuals who were covered by private health plans as well as pension plans.
ERISA was established in order to form ground rules for these private companies to follow. The best interest of the policy holder should always be put first, according to the ERISA. There have been several amendments to this act since it’s inception in 1974.
One of the main changes to the act came when the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was formed and added to the ERISA. This new act helps people with former health problems receive proper health coverage. Numerous other amendments have been made to the act in order to widen the scope of who is protected under the ERISA.
If you need assistance with an ERISA claim, please contact the Indiana ERISA lawyers of the Charles D. Hankey Law Office, P.C. by calling 800-520-3633 today.
Married couple receive prison sentence for disability fraud conviction
Posted on Monday, January 16th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
A married couple living in Washington will both serve prison time for their parts in a Social Security Disability fraud scheme that lasted for several years.
The man began defrauding the state of Washington for disability benefits when he turned 18-years-old. He used a fraudulent Social Security number and name, claiming that he had been hurt while working and was unable to return to the workforce.
When the man met and married his wife, she began helping him with the continuation of the fraud. On different occasions she would pose as a concerned neighbor in order to be a witness to his injuries and at other times she would pretend that she was her husband’s sister when agents would visit their house. They both plead guilty to the fraud charges.

Unemployed workers turn to disability benefits
Posted on Friday, January 6th, 2012 at 11:21 am
The unemployed individuals in the United States have begun to lean on the option of Social Security disability benefits.
Employment is currently limited in this poor economy and those who are still searching for a job are looking into receiving disability benefits in order to sustain their lifestyle. There are currently 10.2 million Americans enrolled in the Social Security Disability Insurance program.
The people trying to earn these benefits are not injured to a point where they could not work, it is merely the fact that they are unable to find a job. This trend could be hazardous to the program and soon the money could run out for the people with long-term disabilities who depend on these benefits.
