Court finds that “tacit” First Amendment issues not in the Diocese’s complaint are not a basis for federal court jurisdiction
U.S. District Judge C. Weston Houck today remanded the case to the South Carolina Circuit Court. In informing the parties, Judge Houck said,
“If this Court determined that a case may be removed based on federal question jurisdiction whenever a defendant attributed a federal constitutional issue not alleged or advanced in a well-pleaded complaint, federal question jurisdiction could potentially be expanded to all cases containing tacit First Amendment issues.” |

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH (TEC) HOLDS HOSTAGE 403B PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS OF MORE THAN 80 DISASSOCIATED STAFF MEMBERS; REFUSES TO ALLOW THEM TO MOVE THEIR RETIREMENT SAVINGS
Episcopal Pension Organization ignores rollover requests as it plans a special workshop for clergy of remnant groupCHARLESTON, SC, June 3, 2013 – The retirement savings of more than 80 non-clergy employees of the Diocese of South Carolina and its parishes are being held hostage by their former pension plan at the Episcopal Church (TEC).
The lay employees have been trying to arrange for the rollover of their retirement savings since February, when they first contacted the Church Pension Group, which provides retirement, health and other benefits to employees of The Episcopal Church, its parishes, dioceses and other institutions. The employees became eligible to rollover their funds into another qualified plan when their employer, the Diocese or the parishes that voted to disassociate from the denomination, officially ceased to be employed by any TEC organization or parish.
