If your employer promises to compensate we early retirement benefits, afterwards how can this law strengthen employers from profitable the benefits?

If you just read the same article I did, the benefits were denied because the deceased employee needed to be at work at least one day to qualify for the benefits. The employee in question was not advised of this.

What is so appaling about this is that the guy worked for the company for years before he got sick and paid premiums during that time. When the company changed its insurance carrier, the employee had to requalify.

This is one of the most egregious breaches of good faith I have ever heard of, and no one in Washington is trying to do anything about it. It is sickening.
