I would like to have feedback from all
the posters of this board regarding the following
problem:
A client of ours (who works on
branch of a multinational corporation; that said
branch located in Puerto Rico ) is reporting
that his employer demands from its employees
to report themselves to the SSA and be represented by
council provided by the employer if the want to
request LTD benefits.
QUESTION: Does ERISA or the SS Act allows
private employers to establish different work-related
benefit request requirements based on the fact that
one of its branch is located on a US
territory?
(I know, tall order!)
Feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks.
