Basic ERISA compliance requires employers provide notice to participants about plan information, their rights under the plan, and how the plan is funded. This includes ensuring plans comply with ERISA's minimum standards, recordkeeping, annual filing and reporting, and fiduciary compliance.

Under ERISA, each person must be bonded for at least 10% of the $1 million or $100,000. (Note: Bonds covering more than one plan may be required to be over $500,000 to meet the ERISA requirement because persons covered by a bond may handle funds or other property for more than one plan.)

Every person who “handles funds or other property” of an employee benefit plan is required to be bonded unless covered under an exemption under ERISA.

Failure to have a bond is a fiduciary breach, resulting in plan fiduciaries being personally liable for any losses due to fraud or dishonest practices that would have been covered by the fidelity bond.

ERISA and the Code require each retirement plan to file Form 5500 by the end of the seventh month after the end of each plan year (extensions of time are available) unless the DOL and the IRS have granted an exemption to this requirement.
