Question: removal purposes. Instead, for complete preemption to apply, the cause of action not only must be preempted by ERISA but also must fall within the scope of the civil enforcement provisions of ERISA § 502(a), 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a). See Aetna Health, 542 U.S. at 209, 124 S.Ct. 2488 (“[A]ny state-law cause of action that duplicates, supplements, or supplants the ERISA civil enforcement remedy conflicts with the clear congressional intent to make the ERISA remedy exclusive and is therefore preempted. The preemptive force of ERISA § 502(a) is still stronger.... Hence, causes of action within the scope of the civil enforcement provisions of § 502(a) [are] removable to federal court.” (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)); Metro. Life Ins. Co., 481 U.S. at 62-63, 67, 107 S.Ct. 1542 (<HOLDING>); Da-Ponte v. Manfredi Motors Inc., 157 Fed.

This similarity further sways us towards the conclusion that the weekly benefit in either case is intended as a partial wage loss replacement for disability resulting from the work related injury or illness. Even if it can be said that total permanent disability compensation benefits contain some unspecified and unquantified component of indemnity for physical impairment, the overriding form, amount and purpose of the benefit is partial replacement of wages during the period of disability. See also Young v. W. Elec. Co., Inc., 96 N.J. 220, 232, 475 A.2d 544 (1984) (<HOLDING>). “The workers’ compensation system is remedial
