    ERISA question of delivering SPD

    i respect your perspective, but the disclaimer clearly states it is for getting opinions for general purpose, and the forum implies in legal topics…. Those opinions shared by a few were to get other opinions;). All good i appreciate the people who gave their actual opinion of the material in...

    ERISA question of delivering SPD

    That being said going to your url and the member is something the member is made aware of, and you do not get prior consent to have that document delivered electronucally via your intranet to them via browser correct? The action of navigating to the document is them giving consent on your fund...

    ERISA question of delivering SPD

    I ask strangers because this is a forum and i interpreted as a place to ask opinions such as if I was a client and paid you, would your legal opinion be this is a way of delivery that would meet regulations. Dol has said they accept that as an acceptable delivery method, but they stated they...

    ERISA question of delivering SPD

    With all that being said… if i was a client and hired you to provide a legal opinion, factoring in the dol has agreed to accept…. Would your advice be to eat the cost and pay the premium, or to proceed the financially better way for the fund(which benefits membership) as documents were clearly...

    ERISA question of delivering SPD

    we do not have emails. We have phones. The structure of the requirments is so anyone that wants it clearly can get it. Although sending 28 pages is an option, sending a single page financially makes more sense and a qr code, url, along with phone number that says if you prefer to receive in...

    Department of Labor issue

    I concur 100% on that, but the forum is to get legal opinion;) whether legal opinion one way or another is ever factored into a discussion outside here or decisions is unknown, but personally i want to know and understand if legal advice is to keep that layer of separation firm because it...

    Department of Labor issue

    Is this a reference to the seemingly frequent DOL inquiries, or am I missing how the fund being Taft Hartley effects whether it is a good practice to ensure that we keep a buffer layer and avoid having a direct fund representative also attend these meetings? Issues we have had have never been...

    Department of Labor issue

    No, im asking if when dealing with an agency such as the Department of Labor, should you keep a layer of separation, or should someone accompany our representation in order to gauge and not be dependent on our attorney being the only one in the room having discussions. Basically i prefer to be...

    Department of Labor issue

    Trying to gauge an issue. Traditionally when a matter arises with an agency such as the DOL, we have our representation be an attorney as our one and only sole single liaison, no company representation is ever present besides the single attorney. Also like any decent attorney ours figures...

I was under the impression his estate had negative assets as i have never seen an estate disclosure, or have any idea what the estate value is, i just know my father...

    Family member hurt from attack

    i give up, this is why you do not post to a group of Lawyers;) The whole reason for the post is now lost in the terms i chose. If this was a legal statement i probably would have been more clear, but for the sake of moving along I take blame, i changed my mind, i was going to start my own law...
