New Crawford Advisors Benefits Webinar: PPACA Expands Fiduciary Exposure - Experts Discuss Emergent Litigation Issues
Hunt Valley, Maryland (PRWEB) February 25, 2014 -- Join Crawford Advisors, LLC for this educational webinar as industry expert speakers discuss PPACA fiduciary liability and litigation issues from emergent exposure sources. The cost for fiduciary liability insurance has historically been considered nominal, but PPACA had a dramatic impact in this area (ERISA Section 409). The new regulations are onerous and do not address connected exposures, which employers may face related to employee allegations of discrimination. These exposures can result in civil or criminal action against plan administrators. Join industry experts including Crawford Advisors Counsel, Patrick Haynes, as they discuss the following topics:
• Personal liability imposed on "fiduciaries" and "parties at interest"
• Misconception that ERISA applies only to pension, profit-sharing and 401(k) plans
• Allegations/litigation relating to "domestic partner" situations
• Internal Revenue Code 4975 Penalties
• Findings of plan errors can result in fines and potential civil or criminal action
• New legislation and "propensity for claims payment" perspective
