US Bank Charging Employees Extra Fees for Healthcare
Did US Bank charge you extra fees (or "surcharges") for your healthcare or insurance premium? If so, you might be eligible for significant compensation. An investigation is ongoing whether US Bank has been charging surcharges on health insurance policies in violation of the law. The types of surcharges companies may have charged you for include:
• Nicotine
• Wellness
• Vaccines
• Other Fees
• Spousal surcharges of around $50-$100 per month have been reported in cases where an employee's spouse has access to coverage through their own employer but chooses to enroll in the employee's plan instead. For example, one employer mentioned implementing a $50 per paycheck surcharge for non-working spouses.
• Tobacco use surcharges are common, with employers charging smokers higher premiums. Surcharges of $50-$100 per month have been typical.
• Some employers have implemented surcharges of $50-$100 per month for employees who do not complete certain wellness activities, like getting an annual physical.
How Do I Qualify?
The investigation is looking back as far as the last six (6) years. Meaning, if you worked for US Bank at any time between 2018 and 2024 and they charged you extra for your healthcare, you may have a claim and may be owed compensation.
There is no out-of-pocket cost to join the investigation, and a potential payout to you can be substantial, pending a victory and the court, or the Judge approving.
