ERISA guidelines for plan payment of plan-related expenses
Article Abstract:
Employers are becoming more interested in finding ways to reduce the costs of administering employee benefit programs. The sponsors of overfunded defined benefit plans are interested in using excess assets without terminating the plans. These objectives can be accomplished by shifting some of the employer's costs to the benefits plan, allowing employers to receive reimbursement for their administrative costs. Employers should be aware of potential fiduciary liability under ERISA.
