A unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision could have significant implications for employers facing withdrawal liability from underfunded multiemployer pension plans.

In M & K Employment Solutions, LLC v. Trustees of the IAM National Pension Fund, the Court clarified that actuaries may adjust key actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, after the measurement date, provided the changes are based on information available as of that date. The ruling may influence future disputes over withdrawal liability calculations and the use of different discount rates for different ERISA purposes.

Our ERISA team examines the decision, its immediate impact, and what it could mean for future withdrawal liability litigation.

A recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision could create refund opportunities for tax-exempt organizations paying stormwater management fees.

In The Borough of West Chester v. PASSHE & West Chester University, the Court held that the charge was a tax, not a fee, meaning tax-exempt entities may not be required to pay it. Organizations generally have three years from payment to pursue a refund claim.

Tucker Arensberg Shareholder Chuck Potter explains more about the decision and potential refund opportunities here:https://hubs.ly/Q04j5sJB0

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that storm water management charges imposed on tax-exempt entities are taxes, not fees, creating potential refund opportunities for qualifying organizations.
