PASCAGOULA, Miss. (WLOX) - Singing River Health System retirees are back in court. And just like a few years ago, theyâre demanding full payment of their pension funds.
The lawsuit filed Wednesday by attorneys Jim Reeves and Matthew Mestayer alleges fraud, false representation and gross negligence.
You may remember back in 2016 Singing River Health System settled the case against it, agreeing to a settlement where they would pay the retirement fund trust $149 million over the next 35 years. This new lawsuit claims Gary Brown and 270 other Singing River Health System retirees are not getting paid 100% of the benefits they were awarded in that 2016 settlement.
