JPMorgan Chase ERISA Class Action

Last verified September 26, 2026Source: courtlistener-litigationHow ClaimWatch verifies cases

This case was recently filed and is being litigated — the claims below are allegations, not proven facts, and there is no settlement, claim form, or payout yet. Watch the case (right) and we'll email you when it moves, including if it settles and a claim process opens.

What happened

A proposed class action against JPMorgan Chase & Co. and related entities, apparently concerning retirement benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The plaintiffs appear to be participants in a JPMorgan Chase employee benefits plan, and the case involves ERISA claims against the company, its benefits committee, and benefits executive. The allegations have not been proven, and there is no settlement.

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.

Common questions

Can I file a claim in the JPMorgan Chase ERISA Class Action case?
No. This case has been filed and is still being litigated — there is no settlement, no claim form, and no payout. Many class actions are dismissed or never certified, so a case being filed does not mean anyone will be paid. If it settles and a claim process opens, that will be announced by a court-appointed settlement administrator.
Where is the JPMorgan Chase ERISA Class Action case being heard?
The case is before the District Court, S.D. New York, case number 1:25-cv-02097. Everything alleged in the complaint is an allegation, not a proven fact.
