| The Employee Benefits Security Administration-Enforcement of ERISA Disclosure and Reporting Requirements |
|
| The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) regulates how private-sector employee benefit plans are administered and requires benefit plans to provide information about plans and changes to the plans to both the federal government and to plan participants and beneficiaries. The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), an agency of the United States Department of Labor, has the responsibility of administering the fiduciary, reporting, and disclosure provisions of ERISA. Prior to 2003, the EBSA was known as the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, which prior to 1986 was known as the Pension and Welfare Benefits Program.
