US Supreme Court to Review Disability Discrimination Case
News summary

The US Supreme Court will review a case involving a former Florida firefighter, Karyn Stanley, who alleges disability bias after being granted early retirement due to Parkinson's disease and facing reduced health insurance benefits post-employment. The decision could impact employers' obligations towards ex-employees with disabilities and clarify ADA's applicability to post-employment benefits. Another case examined the scope of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, allowing plaintiffs to opt out in certain circumstances. The Supreme Court also agreed to address whether retired workers can sue former employers for disability discrimination, potentially impacting millions relying on retirement benefits. In a separate lawsuit, a maintenance custodian's claim of being forced to retire due to a heart condition failed to convince a jury, highlighting disputes over disability accommodations and retirement decisions.
