In our season 6 opener, Host Dorothy Cociu discusses ERISA’s 50th Birthday with Marilyn Monahan of Monahan Law office, its history and why it’s important to the employee benefits industry. Why did Congress want and need to pass a law like ERISA? What does ERISA do in general, and what and who does it protect? What are the advantages of ERISA-regulated plans, particularly self-funded health plans? How important was ERISA in today’s world of transparency, and what other laws came about related to ERISA? Join us for this informative podcast, as we celebrate this very special birthday!
