FAQ

ERISA established fiduciary and other standards for employee benefit plans sponsored by private-sector employers.

Under ERISA, a participant has at least 180 days following receipt of a notification of an adverse benefit determination to file an appeal concerning disability insurance claims. If the final day of the 180-day period falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business day.

EBSA also conducts investigations of criminal violations regarding employee benefit plans such as embezzlement, kickbacks, and false statements under Title 18 of the U.S. Criminal Code. Prosecution of these criminal violations is handled by U.S. Attorneys' offices, see Criminal Enforcement News Releases.
