Axing of Genworth 401(k) Class Needs New Look, Ex-Workers Say
Former Genworth Financial Inc. employees are appealing a Fourth Circuit decision that blocked them from litigating their 401(k) plan claims as a certified class. They argue the court's ruling, which categorized their fiduciary breach claims as "individualized monetary claims," deviates from how federal courts typically handle such Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) cases. The ex-workers believe this decision undermines the principles of representative litigation for ERISA claims.
New Fourth Circuit Decision Addresses Mandatory (No Opt-Out) Classes and Commonality
A recent Fourth Circuit class action decision, Trauernicht v. Genworth Financial Inc., provides important guidance on mandatory (no opt-out) classes and commonality, particularly for individualized monetary claims. The court ruled that such classes are improper for individualized claims, and commonality is not satisfied by broad labels, especially when the proposed class includes uninjured members.

Appeals Court Ruling Upends Path for ERISA Class Actions
A recent 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling has significantly altered the landscape for ERISA class action lawsuits, particularly those related to 401(k) plan investment performance. The court determined that fiduciary breach claims in defined contribution plans involve individualized monetary losses, not a shared injury, meaning they cannot proceed as mandatory class actions under Rule 23(b)(1). This decision, exemplified by the Trauernicht v. Genworth Financial Inc. case, could lead to fewer such lawsuits being filed due to increased logistical and financial hurdles for plaintiffs' lawyers.

The court ruled that ERISA claims seeking recovery for investment losses in defined contribution plans are individualized and cannot proceed as mandatory class actions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(1).
