ERISA Solutions

ERISA Solutions provides a web-based Summary Plan Description (SPD) Wrap service that allows clients and their broker to easily create, store and update summary plan description documents, as needed. With the SPD Wrap, it creates one document and overall SPD required for all health and welfare benefits such as medical, dental, life, disability, FSA, etc.

In accordance with the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), all employers must have a written Summary Plan Description (SPD) for each separate welfare benefit plan (e.g., medical, dental, 125 plan, life, disability, etc.), informing participants of eligibility requirements, benefits, claims and appeals procedures, and rights. Although insurance providers may provide some information required for summary plan description compliance, it is a common mistake for employers to think that the summary insurance information they receive from their insurance provider meets their summary plan description requirements.
