Outcome

The Third Circuit affirmed summary judgment in favor of the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades Industry Pension Plan and its Board of Trustees, holding that the Board did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in denying Hansen disability benefits because workers' compensation and unemployment compensation payments do not qualify as 'Covered Employment' under the Plan.
