ERISA's Impact Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) has turned 50!

In recognition of this milestone, we’re hosting a panel discussion with two preeminent ERISA experts who were deeply involved with the law’s passage and the implementation of its evolving provisions over five decades.

Businesspeople Listening To A Presentation

This webinar covers:

  • A look back at ERISA and what was accomplished
  • The role of the Department of Labor and the courts in shaping ERISA and how it influenced retirement plan design
  • The evolution of ERISA as it was amended through the years, including the development of healthcare law — and the sweeping changes made under the Affordable Care Act
  • Current evolving guidance under ERISA and what role ERISA may play in addressing future pension and health plan issues
  • Anticipated benefits challenges for the next 50 years and how ERISA guidance may address future pension and health plan issues
