FAQ

Submit a Written Request You can send a formal letter or email to the plan administrator requesting specific documents. To ensure clarity, include the following details in your request: Your name and contact information; Your employee ID number (if applicable);

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) covers two types of retirement plans: defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.

Qualified plans include 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, profit-sharing plans, and Keogh (HR-10) plans. Nonqualified plans include deferred-compensation plans, executive bonus plans, and split-dollar life insurance plans.

ERISA applies to most employer-sponsored benefit plans, but there are specific plans ERISA doesn't cover, making it challenging for many employers to determine if their benefits fall under the law.

Defined Benefit Plans generally require the employer to make annual contributions. The amount required is equal to the value of benefit increases for the year plus a 15-year amortization of any unfunded liabilities. If the Plan is overfunded, there is no amortization.

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.

Plans that fall under ERISA include defined benefits and defined contributions plans, 401 plans(k), 413b plans, EPSOPs, or profit-sharing plans. ERISA also covers private health plans such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).
