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.

We know that month-long celebrations can fizzle and wane as the month goes by. So, we want to take the opportunity to add a fresh voice to celebrating the individuals who make a difference in the lives of Black Americans with disabilities.
Many people in the history of Black Americans have also been people with disabilities. Just a few to note:
Harriet Tubman (1820-1913), a remarkable conductor (those who helped others gain their freedom from slavery), had epilepsy resulting from a head injury as a young slave.
Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977) was arrested in June 1963, after successfully registering to vote. At the jailhouse, she was brutally beaten, leaving lifelong injuries from a blood clot in her eye, as well as kidney and leg damage.
