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.

Sometimes benefits are paid directly by the employer, while other instances of benefits require voluntary contributions from the worker. Also note that there can be a standard minimum amount of time spent working for the employer in order for the employee to receive benefits. Employers owe specific legal duties to the employees in providing them with medical plans. Under Texas law, employers must disclose health plan information, and the employee is entitled to fair treatment in the processing of any claims under the medical plan.
