FAQ
Government Plans: Plans established or maintained by federal, state, or local governments for their employees are generally exempt from ERISA. This includes plans for public school employees, state university staff, and municipal workers.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.
In general, ERISA does not cover plans established or maintained by governmental entities, churches for their employees, or plans which are maintained solely to comply with applicable workers compensation, unemployment or disability laws.
ERISA requirements apply to all employer-based health plans, whether fully insured through a third party or self-funded. But, governmental plans offered by local, state, or federal governments are generally excepted from ERISA requirements.
A plan official must be bonded for at least 10% of the amount of funds handled, subject to a minimum bond amount of $1,000 per plan. In most instances, the maximum bond amount that can be required under ERISA with respect to any one plan official is $500,000 per plan.
ERISA requirements apply to all employer-based health plans, whether fully insured through a third party or self-funded. But, governmental plans offered by local, state, or federal governments are generally excepted from ERISA requirements.
Check Your Plan Documents: Review your Summary Plan Description (SPD) or other documents. ERISA plans must provide an SPD that clearly states they are an ERISA plan. Look at Employer Contributions: If your employer contributes to the plan or matches your contributions, it's likely an ERISA plan.
Basic ERISA compliance requires employers provide notice to participants about plan information, their rights under the plan, and how the plan is funded. This includes ensuring plans comply with ERISA's minimum standards, recordkeeping, annual filing and reporting, and fiduciary compliance.
Under ERISA, each person must be bonded for at least 10% of the $1 million or $100,000. (Note: Bonds covering more than one plan may be required to be over $500,000 to meet the ERISA requirement because persons covered by a bond may handle funds or other property for more than one plan.)
