ABA 2025 Employee Benefits Committee Midwinter Meeting

Savannah, GA

Joanne Roskey will speak at the American Bar Association Labor and Employment Law Section 2025 Employee Benefits Committee Midwinter Meeting on February 8, 2025. Roskey will present, as part of a panel, "Government Investigations." The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) each have jurisdiction over a broad range of laws affecting benefit plans, and advising a plan through a DOL or PBGC review can be challenging and time-consuming. This panel will discuss the different types of agency interactions, from information requests to targeted audits, and will discuss best practices for successfully weathering a DOL or PBGC review. Panelists will also discuss recent areas of concern for DOL investigators or PBGC personnel, including trustee expense reimbursement and the timely transmission of elective deferrals.
