Jordan v. The Meba Pension Tr., Civil Action ELH-20-3649 | Casetext Search + Citator**
No back benefits in court case against ex-UMOA/MEBA Licensed Deck Officers vs. MEBA Plans
…. Regulations were modified via agreement between Keystone and MEBA incorporating the pension credit terms of the Merger Agreement. Jordan has plausibly alleged that the Trustees abused their discretion in denying him the pension credit. I will deny the Motion.
