Disability Insurer Says 2nd Circuit Incorrectly Found Offset Is Barred

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Review of the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals' ruling that New York law bars the offset of a claimant's disability benefits with the proceeds of the claimant's settlement of a personal injury suit is warranted because the Employee Retirement Income Security Act preempts the New York law at issue, a disability insurer argues in a Nov. 17 reply brief filed in the U.S. Supreme Court (Aetna Life Insurance Co. v. Salvatore Arnone, No. 17-416, U.S. Sup., 2017 U.S. S. Ct. Briefs LEXIS 4511).
