FAQ

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.

Health insurance that is offered by a church or a governmental entity is not governed by ERISA. Neither are publicly- subsidized health insurance plans (such as Medicaid, NC Health Choice, or Medicare), or private health insurance bought in the non-group market.

The Minnesota Workers' Compensation Act is the exclusive remedy for work-related injury or death and covered employees do not have a private right of action against covered employers (Minn. Stat. § 176.031).

ERISA covers general benefits that aid employees in the event of sickness, accident, disability, death, or unemployment.

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.

Transparency and Disclosure: ERISA mandates detailed plan information be available to participants, keeping everyone informed of their rights and benefits. Fiduciary Duty: Those managing your retirement plan have a legal responsibility to act in the best interests of plan participants, not for personal gain.

Contact your regional EBSA office to file a complaint or an appeal after exhausting your insurance appeals process. You can also find ERISA information through the U.S. Department of Labor online at .dol/ebsa.
