ERISA: Principles of Employee Benefit Law highlights the common themes, central principles, and competing policies of employee benefits law in a compact, accessible work. ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) case law is vast - there are thousands of reported decisions on some topics. This book selectively analyzes key cases to provide a coherent account of the principal features of ERISA and benefits law. The book examines the labor law requirements applicable to employee benefit plans, which are enforceable by private civil action and continue to produce a large volume of litigation and also provides an introduction to the types of employee benefit programs and an overview of ERISA's policies and scope. This detailed text addresses ERISA's conduct controls and pension content controls. ERISA: Principles of Employee Benefit Law will also explore some of the more important reform proposals that the current system seems likely to engender.

The chapters of Section I of this book examine the specific qualification requirements of the tax code applicable to employee retirement plans, from both the employer and employee perspective. The chapters of Section II of the book examines specialized employee benefit plans (such as 401(k) plans and welfare benefit plans) and the ERISA rules governing employee benefit plans in general. The third edition retains the style, format, and teaching and learning goals of the prior editions, but has been updated to reflect changes in the law since 2012.

This study of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) explains in detail how public officials in the executive branch and Congress overcame strong opposition from business and organized labor to pass landmark legislation regulating employer-sponsored retirement and health plans. Before Congress passed ERISA, federal law gave employers and unions great discretion in the design and operation of employee benefit plans. Most importantly, firms and unions could and often did establish pension plans that placed employees at great risk for not receiving any retirement benefits. In the early 1960s, officials in the executive branch proposed a number of regulatory initiatives to protect employees, but business groups and most labor unions objected to the key proposals. Faced with opposition from powerful interest groups, legislative entrepreneurs in Congress, chiefly New York Republican senator Jacob K. Javits, took the case for pension reform directly to voters by publicizing frightening statistics and "horror stories" about pension plans. This deft and successful effort to mobilize the media and public opinion overwhelmed the business community and organized labor and persuaded Javits's colleagues in Congress to support comprehensive pension reform legislation. The enactment of ERISA in September 1974 recast federal policy for private pension plans by making worker security an overriding objective of federal law.
