1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thomas
In this case, we decide whether the payment of benefits pursuant to an early retirement program conditioned on the participants’ release of employment-related claims constitutes a prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 88 Stat. 829, as amended, 29 U. S. C. § 1001 et seq. We also determine whether the 1986 amendments to ERISA and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), 81 Stat. 602, as amended, 29 U. S. C. § 621 et seq., forbidding age-based discrimination in pension plans apply retroactively.
