Your ERISA Watch Podcast
ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) governs many of the employee benefits that impact our daily lives, including mental health coverage, long-term disability, retirement benefits, and life insurance. While it may not always receive the same attention as other areas of law, the stakes in ERISA matters are significant and often life changing.
The ERISA Watch Podcast, produced by Kantor & Kantor, LLP, provides insight into ERISA litigation, insurance disputes, and employee benefit claims, with a focus on the real-world impact these cases have on individuals and families.
Episodes feature in-depth discussions of complex cases, industry trends, and the human stories behind ERISA litigation.
This podcast was originally hosted by Elizabeth Hopkins during her time with the firm.

This premiere episode of ERISA Watch, host Elizabeth Hopkins discusses a real life example of how the federal law of ERISA works in the context of today's employee healthcare benefit environment.
Elizabeth does this through a conversation with two clients, union members from the entertainment industry. These men lost access to their healthcare benefits through language and rules with their plans that are quirky at best.
Listen to episode one to learn more about ERISA and to realize how precarious our healthcare is in this country, especially as it is tied to employment.
Tune in next month as we discuss mental health parity.
