TASC Releases ERISAEdge Service
Madison, Wis. - Total Administrative Services Corporation (TASC), a provider of tax-advantaged medical and other benefit account management services, has introduced a new service, ERISAEdge. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a federal law that regulates Group-sponsored benefits (also called "welfare benefit plans"). But many employers do not fully understand ERISA and how it impacts business and employees, or the possible risks it presents. Besides requiring the provision of specific Plan features and funding information, the law mandates employers to submit detailed reports to the government. Further, employers face strict deadlines for disclosing Plan information to all eligible employees, and all who sponsor and administer ERISA plans must follow a strict fiduciary code of conduct. Failure to comply with ERISA's requirements can mean costly government penalties, even employee lawsuits.
To help employers comply with ERISA rules and regulations, ERISAEdge takes care of all necessary communications, forms and record keeping. These services include maintenance of all required records for the mandated amount of time, instruction regarding required on-site record keeping, timely and accurate completion of the required forms, and assistance with resolution in the event that employee benefit plans are reviewed by the Department of Labor (DOL).
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, TASC's services include AgriPlan, BizPlan, FlexSystem, RetireRite, COBRAToday, DirectPay, LegacyGuard, and RetirEez. TASC provides over 60,000 sole-proprietors, family farmers, and small business owners nationwide with innovative, tax-advantaged employee benefit plans.
