FAQ

403(b) plans that are subject to ERISA must comply with DOL regulations, which may include obtaining an employee identification number (EIN) for the plan. Governmental, non-electing church and other 403(b) plans that meet the safe-harbor requirements under the DOL regulations are not subject to ERISA.

Anyone who works for a private-sector organization which sponsors retirement benefits such as pension plan or a 401(k) plan (or 403(b) for non-profits) receives an ERISA-governed benefit that becomes vested; i.e., non-forfeitable so long as the employee works for the employer for a sufficient number of years.

It just depends on the type of plan. Government and public education 403(b) plans are exempt from ERISA. 403(b) plans sponsored by 501(c)(3) organizations (such as tax-exempt hospitals and charitable organizations) are generally subject to ERISA but may choose non-ERISA if they meet specific requirements.

All 403(b) plans are subject to Title I of ERISA unless an exemption applies.

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.

ERISA stands for Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which is a federal law that sets minimum standards for retirement plans in the private sector. Non-ERISA plans, on the other hand, are not governed by ERISA and are not subject to its regulations.

There are three scenarios by which a 403(b) plan can be exempt from ERISA – the 403(b) plan is maintained by 1) a government, 2) a church, or 3) by a 501(c)(3) organization that limits employer involvement in the administration of that 403(b) plan in ance with a Department of Labor regulatory safe harbor.

A 403(b) plan must generally allow all employees to make elective deferrals to the plan. Under the universal availability rule, if an employer permits one employee to defer salary by contributing it to a 403(b) plan, the employer must extend this offer to all employees of the organization.

However, not all retirement plans are covered by ERISA. For example, Federal, state, or local government plans and some church plans are not covered.
