Employee Benefits
The most well known statute governing employee benefit plans is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). However, it is not the only federal statute regulating such plans. Internal Revenue Code ("Code") section 401, 26 USC section 401(a), and related sections impose numerous requirements on qualified retirement plans. Code section 403(b) sets forth the requirements for tax-sheltered annuities for certain tax-exempt organizations, and public schools and universities. Section 457(b) deals with eligible deferred compensation plans of governmental and tax-exempt organizations. Section 415(m) discusses excess benefit plans of governmental organizations. Sections 457(f) and 83 set forth the tax rules governing other types of deferred compensation for employees of nonprofit and governmental employers. Other Code sections deal with the tax aspects of other types of employee benefits (e.g., health insurance, life insurance, disability benefits, child care benefits, and tuition reimbursement, and flexible benefit plans discussed in sections 101, 104, 105, 106, 117, 125, and 163).
