Abstract
The Court holds that an employer may not offer its employees life annuities from a private insurance company that uses sex-based mortality tables. This holding will have a far-reaching effect on the operation of the insurance and pensions plans. Employers may be forced to discontinue offering life annuities, or potentially disruptive changes may be required in long-established methods of calculating insurance and pensions.
