File Your Claim →What Happened?
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health, a major New Hampshire healthcare system, was sued over the management of its employee retirement plans. The lawsuit alleged that Dartmouth-Hitchcock breached its fiduciary duty to plan participants by selecting and retaining investment options with excessive fees, failing to negotiate lower fees given the plan's size, and not monitoring the performance of plan investments adequately.
These types of ERISA fiduciary breach cases — known as 401(k) lawsuits — have become increasingly common as employees and attorneys scrutinize the management of workplace retirement plans. Dartmouth-Hitchcock agreed to settle the class action brought by current and former employees who participated in the retirement plans between 2016 and 2026.
How Much Will I Actually Get?
The settlement pays a pro rata cash payment based on your account balance and years of participation in the retirement plan. Former and current employees who participated in the Dartmouth-Hitchcock retirement plans during the qualifying period are eligible. No documentation beyond confirming your plan participation is required. Check the official settlement page for the current deadline.
