Spouse Wins Annuity When Plan Failed to Tell Participant of Need to Make an Election
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit via FindLaw 
Mar. 22, 2001 "[Plaintiff] applied for a former spouse survivor annuity under the Civil Service Retirement System ... on the ground that it had been elected by ... her deceased former spouse ... or, if not formally elected, that the government's failure to give the required notice excused Mr. Wood's failure to make a formal election.... We hold that Mrs. Wood is entitled to receive the former spouse survivor annuity[.]" [Wood v. Office of Personnel Management, No. 00-3235 (Ct. App. Fed. Cir. Mar. 6, 2001)] MORE >> |
