Looking for ERISA Law help and explanations?

The main purpose of Erisa Law (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act) is to ensure that employees receive pensions and other benefits promised by their employers. ERISA law also incorporates and is tied to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that were enacted to encourage employers to provide retirement benefits to their employees. Many provisions of ERISA law and the IRC are intended to ensure that tax-favored pension plans do not favor the highest-paid employees over rank-and-file employees. To achieve this, Erisa law has a complex series of rules that cover pension, profit-sharing stock bonus, and most “welfare benefit plans,” such as health and life insurance. Erisa law supersedes almost all state laws that affect employee benefit plans and has thus created a single federal standard for employee benefits.
