Disability Insurer Is Not Plan Administrator; Penalties Not Available, Federal Judge Says

LOUIS - A Missouri federal judge on March 23 determined that a disability claimant cannot recover damages from a disability insurer for failure to produce requested plan documents because the insurer was not the plan administrator (Rebecca Dunivin v. Life Insurance Company of North America, et al., No. 17-1530, E.D. Mo., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 48164).
