New changes to ERISA requirements. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and related legislation impose a myriad of requirements on employers pertaining to any health and welfare plan that they may offer. One of those requirements is that the plan have “fiduciaries” who operate the plan in the sole interest of the participants and beneficiaries, and ERISA holds all plan fiduciaries to a higher standard of care than non-fiduciaries. As a reminder: ERISA applies to all employer-sponsored welfare benefit plans unless an exemption applies (such as being a church or a government plan). There is no small-employer exception to ERISA.d Download our guide that will explain Fiduciary Responsibilities for Group Health Plan Sponsors. https://lnkd.in/ev_PvAnv #ERISA #CAA #healthcare #insurance #healthinsurance #hr #employeebenefits #benefits #humanresources #cfo #controller #compliance #ebwithryan
