Nearly a year after 40 Denver Health retirees or their surviving spouses were told they’d need to collectively pay back millions, 16 of them are going to court.
The pensioners last week filed a lawsuit against the Denver Employees Retirement Plan, which manages the retirement plan for Denver Health and thousands of city of Denver employees.
The lawsuit, filed in Denver County District Court, states that DERP planned to begin clawing back funds from the plaintiffs as of March 1. It seeks an injunction from the court to prevent that.
