From ERISA to CAA: How Has Employer’s Fiduciary Responsibility Changed Over Time?

From ERISA to CAA: How Has Employer’s Fiduciary Responsibility Changed Over Time?
July 9, 2024
Read time: 3 min
Though ERISA is often thought of as an issue for retirement plans, the law has always applied to employer-sponsored health benefit plans. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA) sought to put a spotlight on the issue by clarifying responsibilities of health benefit plan fiduciaries and the third-party service providers they contract with. Yet, three years after its passage, many plan sponsors still can’t get their vendors or advisors to provide the required fee disclosures.
Alden J. Bianchi and Sarah G. Raaii participated in a podcast with the Moving to Value Alliance (MTVA) on the topic “From ERISA to CAA: How Has Employer’s Fiduciary Responsibility Changed Over Time?” In this conversation, they share how to comply with the CAA’s new requirements and what health plan fiduciaries can do to ensure they fulfill their responsibilities to beneficiaries. They also discuss the history of ERISA, steps that employers and health plan fiduciaries should take, and what it might take to boost compliance.

McDermott Sponsors Equal Justice Works Fellow to Advocate for Immigrant Rights
PRESS RELEASE
McDermott Sponsors Equal Justice Works Fellow to Advocate for Immigrant Rights
July 8, 2024
Read time: 3 min
Pro BonoInternational law firm McDermott Will & Emery has partnered with Equal Justice Works (EJW) to facilitate projects for its Fellowship Class of 2024, which includes more than 84 law school graduates. Through the partnership, the Firm will sponsor Fellow Annie Whitney, who plans to spend her two-year fellowship at New York Legal Assistance Group challenging egregious due process violations in Immigration Court.
Annie’s work will ensure respect for the right to seek asylum and protect the rights of those fleeing persecution. It is among the many critical initiatives that McDermott and other firms, nonprofits and legal organizations seek to address through the EJW Fellowship program to increase equal access to justice for underserved communities.
Since the spring of 2022, more than 160,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York City from Texas. Despite legal protections, New York’s Immigration Courts face significant challenges, including overburdened caseloads and systemic due process violations. Many asylum seekers are wrongly deported, potentially forced to return to places where they fear persecution.
Annie will take a multifaceted approach to address these issues:
- Direct Representation: Challenging wrongful deportation orders through direct legal representation, advocating for fair hearings and due process rights.
- “Know Your Rights” Sessions: Hosting workshops at migrant shelters and community centers, empowering asylum seekers with essential information.
- Toolkit Development: Building resources for lawyers and pro se litigants, equipping them to effectively challenge due process violations in Immigration Court.
“We are thrilled to sponsor Annie, and we firmly believe that her advocacy will significantly benefit our communities and beyond. This partnership underscores our shared commitment to fighting for the protection of rights for all,” said Elizabeth Lewis, Firm-wide pro bono and community service partner at McDermott. “We stand behind EJW’s mission to activate lawyers’ passion for equal justice and inspire a lifelong commitment to public service.”
