There are some misconceptions in our industry when it comes to disclosure under ERISA for health and welfare plans. At the end of the day, it is employers and not carriers who are responsible to ensure they are providing participants with compliant Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD). Annual 5500 reporting is required for all employer groups with 100 or more participants in any health and welfare plan. This is often overlooked when a group has 100 participants in group life insurance but less than 100 in health insurance. Liberty can prepare both your SPD and in most cases your 5500 forms.
Liberty clients may utilize a reporting tool we have available to prepare ACA reporting. We will act as a resource to help you understand these responsibilities and ensure you are equipped. Our compliance specialist also works with clients if they receive an inquiry from the IRS regarding ACA reporting and potential fines that may occur for failure to report and/or resolve issues caused by inaccurate reporting.
