Our purpose is to support the people who administer, give compliance advice about, design, make policy for, or otherwise are concerned with, employee benefit plans in the United States sponsored by either private or governmental employers.

Information presented here is designed to help people working directly or as service-providers for employers of all sizes.

Most employee benefit plans are heavily regulated by frequently-revised federal laws (especially the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or "ERISA," and the Internal Revenue Code). People who are responsible for properly operating or servicing those plans must know and keep up with a great deal of changing information.

Our operating revenue comes from job advertisements purchased by employers who are seeking the kind of folks who make up our audience, and advertisements on the web pages and in our daily newsletters.

More information about our audience is online.
