What happened

A proposed class action has been filed against Duke University under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), apparently concerning alleged violations of employees' retirement plan or employee benefit rights. The nature of the suit code indicates this involves ERISA claims, which typically affect employees and their benefit entitlements rather than the general public.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
