Baystate ERISA Settlement
Chechile et al v. Baystate Health, Inc. et al.
No. 22-cv-30155-KAR (D. Mass.)
Welcome to the Baystate ERISA Settlement Website
The Court has given its preliminary approval to a proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) related to the Baystate Health, Inc. Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) as a result of a class action lawsuit brought by certain participants in the Plan against Baystate Health, Inc. (“Baystate”) and others (collectively, “Defendants”), alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Defendants deny any and all claims and liability, and nothing in the Settlement is an admission or concession on Defendants’ part of any fault, wrongdoing, or liability whatsoever.
You are included as a Settlement Class member if you were a participant in, or a beneficiary of a participant in, the Plan at any time from November 17, 2016 through the effective date of the Settlement.
