Washington, D.C. – In a significant victory for federal employees, retirees, and retirees, Judge Randolph D. Moss of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled that key claims in the Bridges, et al. v. Accenture Federal Services, LLC, et al. case will proceed, rejecting the majority of the defendants’ motions to dismiss.
The Court largely denied multiple motions to dismiss, deciding that the claims against Accenture and Alight relating to their mismanagement of the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) remain intact. The plaintiffs have the right to file an Amended Complaint by April 11, 2025. Additionally, the Court extended the defendants’ deadline to file an Answer until May 12, 2025.
Joseph Kenney, a Sauder Schelkopf partner, hailed the ruling as a significant step forward:
“This ruling reaffirms that federal employees, retirees, and military families have the right to seek justice for the financial harm that resulted from the mismanagement of the TSP. The Court’s decision allows us to continue pursuing accountability and financial relief for those affected.”
The case challenges the systemic mismanagement of the TSP, which left countless federal employees, retirees, and military families struggling to access their retirement savings and prevented them from accessing important benefits like hardship withdrawals or loans. The Plaintiffs look forward to holding the responsible parties accountable and preventing failures in the future.
