Issues with benefit plans and pension payments arise both when hiring an employee and when they leave the job. The state of Texas has laws regulating the way that employers are allowed to administer health benefits and pension plans. Recipients and beneficiaries of these packages can file their claims under the state laws.

The employer often pays for some of the benefit plans, but other plans require further voluntary contributions from the employee. Furthermore, employees are sometimes required to work for a minimum amount of time before becoming eligible for certain benefits. Texas laws require that employers providing medical plans for their workers perform particular legal duties. The employer must inform the employee about their health plans, and the employee is entitled to fair treatment in the review process of their claim.
