Appeals Court Rules Recordkeeper Contracts Can Be Plan Documents
Original: Recordkeeper Contracts Can Be Plan Documents, per Federal Appeals Court
A federal appeals court has ruled that recordkeeper contracts can qualify as plan documents under ERISA retirement plan rules. The decision matters for plan sponsors and fiduciaries, since document-retention and production obligations could extend to service provider agreements, potentially affecting compliance practices and litigation discovery duties across the retirement industry.
Why now: Retirement plan sponsors and advisers are weighing the compliance and litigation implications of the ruling.
