Generally, absent a delegation, the board of directors is considered the plan fiduciary—meaning the board is subject to the complex duties and obligations imposed on plan fiduciaries.

Manufacturers Leveraging Technology to More Efficiently Distribute Retirement Plan Documents | JD Supra
Retirement plan disclosures required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) may be delivered by electronic media under the Department of Labor’s (DOL) updated electronic distribution regulation.

While health plans, insurers, and providers are busy understanding and implementing the new requirements under the No Surprises Act, a U.S. District Court recently vacated an essential portion of the interim regulations carrying out the Act.
