Court Holds Contractual Language Does Not Bar Plaintiff's Disability Claims
Health Plan Law 
[Guidance Overview] July 8, 2008
Excerpt: ERISA does not contain a specific statute of limitations for benefits claims. (This is rather odd given the frequent conception of the statute by the federal judiciary as a 'comprehensive and reticulated' regulatory scheme.) In any event, when Congress omits a statute of limitations for a federal cause of action, courts 'borrow' the local time limitation most analogous to the case at hand.
