Seventh Circuit: Central States Southeast and S v. Shelby Haynes



Where an ERISA third party beneficiary who becomes an adult between the coverage date and the date on which the paid claim arises wins a subsequent tort claim related to the covered injury, they are bound to any equitable repayment of the fiduciary specified in the Plan, as acceptance of the benefit signified assent to the terms of the Plan.
