40-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill requires EBSA to sign a written agreement detailing any assistance it gives workers or their attorneys before they sue an employer or pension plan, and to share that agreement with the employer or plan manager involved. EBSA must also file an annual report to Congress logging these agreements, meetings, calls, and shared information, with identifying details redacted.
EBSA regulators face new paperwork and reporting requirements; employers and pension plan administrators gain visibility into government assistance to workers; employees and their attorneys face potential added procedural steps.
The new requirements could slow or complicate government assistance to workers pursuing benefit plan lawsuits while increasing employer awareness of pending government involvement in such cases.
