What is the class action claim?
U.S. Bank early retirees – those who retired prior to age 65 (ideally before age 63)— who received benefits under Part B of the U. S. Bank defined benefit retirement plan were paid monthly benefits that were too low compared to those who retired at or after age 65 because the early retirement benefits were not actuarially equivalent to the normal age retirement benefits under Part B of the plan. In effect, early retirees were penalized by U.S. Bank for retiring early, a violation of ERISA.
Who can join this class action?
Any former employees of U. S. Bank who retired from U.S. Bank within the past six (6) years.
Is there any cost to me?
