District Court, E.D. New York June 24, 2014, No. 11-cv-2417 (JFB)(ARL) (Houston v. Teamsters Local 210)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

JOSEPH F. BIANCO, District Judge:

Pro se plaintiffs bring this action to collect severance pay, which they argue is due to them under the terms of the defendant ERISA-regulated fund. The plan governing the fund states that employees must have been terminated “within one (1) year of the date that the Employer ceased operating its business” in order to collect severance pay.
