With the beginning of a new year, employers that offer employee benefit plans have many reporting and disclosure requirement deadlines that will be approaching before you know it. Employers often focus on reporting information on the retirement plans [pension, 401k, 403b, etc.] that they offer, but are often unaware that the same reporting and disclosure requirements may also apply to the welfare benefit plans [medical, dental, life, disability, etc.] they offer too.
For more assistance on reporting requirements for your employee benefit plans, refer to the Reporting and Disclosure Guide for Employee Benefit Plans provided on the Department of Labor’s website [http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/rdguide.pdf].
