Rise Delaware™

Why did RISE Delaware™ file a lawsuit on your behalf?

On September 25, 2022, RISE Delaware filed a lawsuit in Delaware Superior Court on behalf of State retirees, alleging that the State made the decision to move all retirees to a Medical Advantage plan without following the procedures required for an open government and without input from those most affected — the State's retirees. The State attempted to fundamentally alter the healthcare benefits long relied upon by Delaware’s retirees.

Our lawsuit, which concluded in April 2024, was a phenomenal success in that it stopped, by a Court ordered "stay", the Carney Administration from switching retirees to Medicare Advantage for 18 months. Long enough for us to achieve a "grand slam" of legislative protections!
