Group: I wasn't sure which area to post I'm hoping this is proper message board. Client's ESOP had a DOL investigation (Plantation, FL EBSA office) start early 2020. I represent client as their Tax/ERISA Attorney. Throughout 2020 I provide all requested documentation. Then from Sept '20 we don't hear anything. A few days ago I get an email from a new investigator saying he will be issuing new subpoenas. We've provided everything I can think of. Anyone else represent clients from this DOL EBSA dept? There happens to be a related US Tax Court matter in its beginning stages related to tax deficiencies and disqualification of clients ESOP. Any other practitioners been successful in filing declaratory actions in Federal Court? instead of waiting years on end for the DOL to conclude its investigation? Thoughts and comments appreciated.

It is rumored our company’s ESOP is under investigation by the Employee Benefits Security Administration (part of the Department of Labor/DOL) for possible ERISA violations. Once the DOL’s investigation has concluded: - How can I find out the findings of the investigation? - Is my company required to let me know of the DOL’s findings? - Is this information publicly available? Thank you, Brett
