ERISA Services & Employee Retirement Counsel
Overview
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") is federal law regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor. ERISA is designed to protect the assets placed in retirement plans so that funds will be there upon retirement. To meet that objective, ERISA sets forth regulatory standards for pensions and retirement plans by setting forth fiduciary responsibilities for those money managers and other service providers who plan and manage assets on behalf of the retirement plan.
The Act also contains detailed provisions for governmental reporting and disclosure to retirement plan participants. Additionally, provisions are aimed at assuring that plan funds are protected and properly invested. To this end, understanding all the fiduciary obligations and compliance requirements with ERISA is critical and requires regulatory compliance counsel guidance.
Jacko Law Group provides ongoing ERISA services and employee retirement counsel throughout the United States.
