The provisions of ERISA fall under the Department of Labor, specifically, Title I, which established fiduciary and other standards for employee benefit plans sponsored by private sector employers.
Most carriers specifically state in their administrative guides that it is the Employers’ responsibility to comply with all provisions of ERISA.
Compliance requires every health and welfare plan to have an executed and adopted written Plan Document in place, to create and distribute a Summary Plan Description (SPD) to all plan participants within the required timeframes, AND ERISA also mandates that numerous one-time and annual Employee Notices be distributed properly.
